Oh.M.Gee.
Four pairs of boots??? How is that even possible!

Two women in America arrested for shoplifting are said to have hidden the merchandise under their belly fat and breasts.
Edmond police authorities said Ailene Brown, 28, and Shmeco Thomas, 37, were found stealing the items at the Edmond TJ Maxx by loss prevention officers.
They took four pair of boots, three pair of jeans, a wallet and gloves amounting to $2,600 worth of store merchandise.
"These two were actually concealing them in areas of their body where excess skin was, under their chest area and armpits," KFOR-TV quoted officer James Hamm as saying.
Police revealed Brown also had a knife in her purse that they say she used to cut security tags in the store.

And what if they decide to donate the other 11 eggs? Are there going to be more of them out there that are technically "quadruplets" or more? Very interesting.

They're not triplets, they're a set of fraternal twins and a sibling. Identical twins/triplets/other multiples come from the same original zygote (it splits). Fraternal multiples come from two or more different zygotes and share the womb with one another.
Since the third didn't share the womb with the first two, she's a single. Saying they're triplets would be like saying my older brother and I are fraternal twins.

ohhh that makes more sense now that I reread it. First I was like, they created that many embryo's with the same genetic-makeup on purpose? *doh* on my part. lol

I was born in January 1983, so it stands to reason that there couldn't have been too many IVFs between myself and the original 9 the articles I've read cited.

Very cool. 
The most interesting thing about my birth is that I was an accident. Maybe I'll start telling this story instead.....

Eugh is right. Something is not safe about this.

I didn't even try to read that article when I saw a toilet in the human cheese life cycle.

I don't even understand most of that cycle minus the pumping, cheesemaking, and toilet. LOL. I'm like "oh haaaaaaaaaay - when you eat you poo!"
Aside from that, I don't think there would necessarily be anything more or less safe about it than other types of cheese (especially those that are not pasteurized), but it strikes me as wrong on some level.
It'd be like cows eating dairy cheese, or goats eating goat cheese. Although I'm now realizing it's a little "wrong" for people to drink goat milk or cow milk because it's supposed to be for their babies. Do adult bovine creatures also drink cow milk if they have to?
