Wildman, In regard to your riddle about twins, Unless one of you has had a bit of nip and tuck, it is impossible for you and your sister to be identical twins.
Identical twins occur when a single zygote splits into two seperate parts during cell division. Since the gender of a child is determined by the father's sperm, and is the same for both parts of the divided zygote, all identical twins are not only the same sex, but are the same genetically. Male/Female twins occur when the mother's ovaries produce more than one egg at a time, and these eggs are fertilized during the same cycle. They are essentially nothing more than the result of concurrent single pregnancies. Trust me, I've been dealing with this since we had our boy/girl twins, 14 years ago.

Aw, Mike Now I have to ask you to accept my apologies. I was just having some fun at your expense, I am well aware you can't drive with the C-Path machine My twin sister has severe sleep apnea which requires the machine as well as a an oxygen supply always at hand. I have watched her stop breathing in the middle of her sleep and held my breath waiting for her to start again. But our family tradition has always been to take both the good and the bad things in life with a solid dose of humor, Laughter truly Is the best medicine. While it may be Dark humor, I did get an image of crusing down the highway in a convertible, wind in your hair, not a care in the world, firmly hooked up to the cigarette lighter. Let Life treat you properly Wildman Now it's time for a puzzle I have a Twin sister, and we are Identical Twins. But she is a girl and I am a boy. How is that possible? ----- Original Message ----- From: <molenc...@yahoo.com> To: "Papermodels II" <papermodels@googlegroups.com> Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 12:52 PM Subject: [Papermodels II 39798] Re: Hey, where's Mandy F. been? Hi JW: Please accept my apologies for conveying the wrong point. I need to work on my writing skills. No, you cannot wear a C-Path machine while driving as far as I know. I would never attempt it. Sleep apnea can seriously deprive the body of oxygen. The C-Path machine prevents that from happening. Keep in mind that in the more serious sleep apnea cases the heart actually momentarily stops after you've exhaled and just before your brain sends a signal through the central nervous system to your lungs to inhale. I spent a night in the Kaiser sleep clinic years ago and the technician told me the next morning that according to the approximately 40 MB of data that they recorded, that my heart stopped about 300-350 times during the night. Anyone who suspects that they might have sleep apnea should not hesitate to get themselves checked out. Nowadays they give you a home monitor so that you don't generally have to stay in the clinic overnight.
