...study, Souter and her colleagues suggest that there are two ways this could have happened, depending on when the actual twinning event took place. In the first scenario, the egg might have divided in two (without separating) and then each part fertilized by one sperm. Egg division before fertilization is very rare, says Minkin. The second, more likely possibility is that the egg fused with two sperm cells and created a triploid cell. Then, at the second-cell stage, each shed the chromosomes from each of the sperm - or did something to correct its chromosomal count, says Souter. "There...

...encourage rushing out to replace incandescent lightbulbs. A cfl may consume 75% less energy to generate the equivalent light, but my furnace has to make up for the heat no longer provided by the incandescent bulb.

He loves his pet pooch, has little use for humans. On being offered the assignment to prevent an assassination, he spits out his apolitical nihilism: "I don't much like this President. Didn't like the last one much either." (As a non-voter for either Bush or Clinton, he's in sync...

Although I was very much here in 1972, I did not mock his mother’s regional accent, nor am I aware of ever hearing of it, and so I suggest that Stephen J. Bartenstein leave my accent alone. I have been using it before he and his mother were here. There is indeed a “Harvard accent,” and I freely admit to being a mature representative of it. I direct my critic to the remark of the once-popular cultural critic, George Ade, who declared that his alma mater, Purdue...
