Except...you're black and she's white...other than that, you know.:p

christiangirl 04-29-2007 03:38 PM

^^^oops, forgot about that! :o But you know, it's been proven to happen, I saw it in the newspaper:eek:

Hey, I was gonna post a link to the article, but that's an EXCELLENT riddle! How can a set of twins be born at the same time with one being black and one being white? (If you saw the article I'm talking about, let someone else answer.)

It's happened more than once and since I have read about both scenarios, which had different reasons I will refrain from answering. But it is not really a riddle.

Yeah, I know, but it's a puzzling phenomenon that requires creative thinking. I went with it. :0

You're right, there are 2 different ways it can happen.

I don't know that I've seen the specific article you're talking about but I saw a recent set of twins. So I'll keep my mouth shut.

Does this mean we can still be cybertwins ;)

I am not a human, nor am I an animal.
I have eyes, but cannot see,
and I have hair that you cannot comb.
My brown skin has several layers but this seems a paradox,
because one is smooth and the other is hard.
My skin protects my soft white flesh;
and within my flesh is my opaque blood.

What am I?

One way is not creative at all--just stupid.

Oh, I meant figuring out how it happens takes creative thinking!

If you'd like to say it, go ahead, everyone who's looked at it seems to have seen something on it anyway.

In one case the White mother had slept with an African American man and a White man within a couple of hours of each of them. Both of them fertilized an egg.

In another case the father was bi racial--Black and White. Two of his sperm fertilized two eggs. One of his sperm was dominate with his White heritage, the other with his African American heritage. DNA showed that he was indeed the father of both twins.

There was also another case where the parents were both obviously White. But genetic testing then showed that one of them (I forget which one) did have some African American heritage going back years.

christiangirl 04-30-2007 04:25 PM

^^^correct. You're very knowledgeable:D

**in my teacher voice** Let's hear from someone other than Drolefille. :)

A sundial is a timepiece that has the fewest number of moving parts. Which timepiece has the most moving parts?

AlphaFrog 05-02-2007 09:44 AM

A cucukoo clock?

12dn94dst 05-02-2007 10:14 AM

nope

christiangirl 05-02-2007 12:33 PM

a watch? (if it's on your arm, everything moves when you do!)

12dn94dst 05-02-2007 12:35 PM

nope.

hint: Days of Our Lives

christiangirl 05-02-2007 12:43 PM

Ooooh, gotcha:

Like sands through the HOURGLASS, so are the Days of Our Lives! (which is about to come on, thanks for reminding me.:D)

AlphaFrog 05-02-2007 12:47 PM

I don't know if this one has been posted (and I don't have time to read 10 pages to find out - BUT):

It's more powerful than God, more evil than the Devil. Poor people have it, rich people need it, and if you eat it, you will die. What is it?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

ladygreek 05-02-2007 02:44 PM

I think there should be a moratorium on both Drolefille and 12dn94dst from answering.

Drolefille 05-02-2007 02:53 PM
