This isn't the place to go into details, but it'd have been a lot worse in Thailand.

SpinStopper		2007-12-16 07:14:50 AM

They all look alike to me ;)

I would imagine this happens rather a lot in a country that only has about 100 last names...

staplermofo		2007-12-16 07:22:51 AM

Do they have anything equivalent to the Lifetime Channel in China?

YOU STOLE MY BABY!

I think about 5000 Chinese workers were killed while coal mining last year. Where's the solution to that problem?

Right behind all this coal. We're working as hard as we can!

It's not good enough, right now. We are going to reduce your compensation, as an expression of the common good, unless we see more production. As a bonus, The People will receive many amounts of goodness.

Wait, this is one of those riddles, right?

I was about to say, ALL LOOK SAME!

ExcaliburPrime111		2007-12-16 10:27:36 AM

Bbbbut they all look the same to me!

At my first glance, it appeared the space shuttle was launching.

I just need some more coffee, after I finish this beer.

FTFA: Pan eventually found her biological son in the care of another family surnamed Rao, who had delivered a baby boy at the same hospital four days before.

Last year, two Chinese families in southern Guangxi region sued a local hospital 15 years after they took home the wrong baby boys, state media said.

Nothing about 4 sets of twins noted here, as subby asserts. Just the one featured. Not that that makes it any better.

aharown		2007-12-16 10:28:57 AM

You know they say everyone has a twin somewhere in the world. I guess in China it might actually be true. And he might live down the block and around the corner.

His sad personal experience, a set of Tots that came home from the hospital in different colors.

well, so they should sue! Any Ammurrican would have! Give the poor family a break here!

Mom?

Akambe		2007-12-16 10:47:09 AM

But were they painted with lead-based paint?

hogans		2007-12-16 10:51:32 AM

You know who else messed up twins?

Unusual...the wrong baby is (sadly) quite common, and I'd imagine the wrong set of twins might happen, but one right and one wrong twin seems like an accomplishment - I would kind of expect them to keep the actual twins together, and that they'd be at least somewhat easy to distinguish even early on...

What details? You're an idiot and probably slightly racist?

Am I the only one here who thought of "Start the Revolution Without Me"? Funny, funny movie! Gene Wilder in one of his better roles. Yes, better than Blazing Saddles.

bitbear		2007-12-16 11:19:15 AM

Bah. A kid's a kid. They all look about the same after their first really good beating anyway...

/One, please. Adults only.

TIASA		2007-12-16 11:30:56 AM

This is even funnier because in China male twins - one of the greatest things that could happen to you. Evar.

wow, is that Josef Mengele? Don't expect to see him all over the place

hogans		2007-12-16 11:44:59 AM

psicop: wow, is that Josef Mengele? Don't expect to see him all over the place

Yep, that's him. I figured I should post him in his uniform. You should see the other pics in the google search - he had a smile worthy of child molesters. *shiver*

The nature/nurture scientists must be frothing at the mouth.

The beatings will continue until morale improves....

They all look alike, even to each other, in China.

Nuuu		2007-12-16 03:26:37 PM

I got lucky. Given the mixed race composition of my marriage, the brown baby with the sandy colored hair is probably mine.

clevershark		2007-12-16 04:40:11 PM

If you're one in a million in China, there are still 1400 of you.

You know they say everyone has a twin somewhere in the world. I guess in China it might actually be true. And he might live down the block and around the corner.

And upstairs, downstairs, next door, next to them, and so on, and so on.

I think staplermofo was talking about those special kind of twins that Thailand was famous for, back when it was called Siam...

/racist?

I guess China isn't a good place to go if you're about to give birth to twins.

For those who say I am racist and paint everyone with a broad brush I give you Andrew "Dice" Clay...
