Must be revenge for eating him in utero. When the boy’s parents brought him in with a distended stomach, they weren’t expecting this diagnosis.
Twins is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Twins.
Culture Buzz Congrats to Stephanie Peterson and Daryl Humenny of Minneapolis! On December 31 at 6:40 p.m., Stephanie gave birth to their son, Becket; six hours later, she delivered his twin sister Freya on New Year's Day. Big ups, Peterson/Humenny family, and good luck on scheduling all those birthday parties.
James and Daniel are identical twins. What sets them apart is that one is white and one is black, and a population geneticist at Edinburgh University says this is a more common occurrence than one would think among Jamaican fathers. “Most Caribbean people, though black-skinned, have European DNA because in the days of slavery, many plantation owners raped female slaves, and so introduced European DNA into the black gene pool,” says Dr. Jim Wilson. “The Caribbean father will have less European DNA than African DNA, so it's more likely he'll pass on African DNA – but rarely, and I've worked it out to be around one in 500 sets of twins where there's a couple of this genetic mix, the father will pass on a lot of European DNA to one child and mostly African DNA to the other. The result will be one white child and one black.” (via guardian.co.uk)
While on The Late Show with David Letterman, Neil Patrick Harris dropped a million megaton adorable bomb by showing off his baby twins in costume. When you see the Frida Kahlo costume, your unibrow with curl from cuteness.
When you're an evil baby, there is nothing more satisfying and hilarious than watching a fellow baby suffer.
TMZ unearthed this text from last week, sent by Charlie Sheen to Brooke Mueller, detailing how he wanted to “execute” his manager, Mark Burg. Charlie Sheen is winning (at being a creepy person)!

That's freaky and cool and frool.
It helps if they're fraternal. [Ed. Note: Click through the image for the original post, because the comments are pretty great].
Culture Buzz Contestants in an Identical Twins competition held at London's Pineapple Studios on Monday. Some of these twins are pretty damn identical. Also, sometimes they apparently make out with each other? (Via.)
Step 1: Have twins. Step 2: Get magnets & ping pong balls. Step 3: Hilarious!
Man, people love going to Silvio Berlusconi's rallies so much that they'll show up twice! At … the same time? Or some other explanation, less flattering to Berlusconi. (Via PhotoShop Disasters).
The paste kid will probably grow up with some sort of weird identity issues because of this.

Minerals in the water? Creepy Nazi experiments? Inbreeding? Geneticists have no explanation for the 38 pairs of twins living in a one-and-a-half square mile area in Brazil, the “twins capital of the world.”

Meet the snazziest identical twins on Flickr. Seriously, those white jumpsuits? And the sailor outfits? And the GO-GO boots. I am feeling inspired.
Two sets of identical twins meet, fall in love, have a joint wedding, and set up homes next to each other before one of the couples birth their own set of identical twin boys. Should this make me feel as uneasy as I do when I watch the polygamist compound video?
Urban pranksters Improv Everywhere took to New York City public transportation again, this time creating a real-time tableau in which twins mirrored each other. Sure, we would have appreciated a little DeVito-Schwarzenegger action, but bloggers can’t be choosers.
