One twin will be a mirror image of the other. I remember a book that showed pictures of twin's heads, with the hair growing in whorls in opposite directions. Does anyone know why this happens? Are fingerprints reversed? Come to think of it, are fingerprints the same on identical twins? Why does this happen only sometimes? -- Sue Brezden Real World: Room 1B17 Net World: ihnp4!drutx!slb AT&T Information Systems 11900 North Pecos Westminster, Co. 80234 (303)538-3829 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your god may be dead, but mine aren't. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
