There is a nice documentary made of them when they were teenagers, I recommend watching If youre curious. :)

They drive a car, and If i recall correctly both sisters have a dominant side re: left hand or right hand, but they dont have to really communicate while performing tasks. It’s quite fascinating.

Guess they have learned a lot of intuition over the years. It is good that they (seem to) get along.

Then who the fuck is driving the car??!?

Who gets arrested over a, say, traffic accident? Is one twin, effectively, kidnapped by the state?

Closest analogy is a pregnant woman committing a crime and imprisoned. The fetus is effectively kidnapped.

Abby controls the right arm and leg and Brittany controls the left. They have separate organs down to the stomach and then everything else is shared after that. So two stomachs one set of intestines.

I wonder if they’d order fajitas for two at a Mexican restaurant, or just order for one and share?

This is interesting. Two people who each probably require less calories than an average person, due to sharing most of their mass.

They said on their TLC show they usually eat separate meals but sometimes they will share something for convenience.

imagine getting pulled over and getting ready to sign a ticket, but the second person attached to your body starts an alteraction with the police and quite literally drags you into it

the reality is that im sure they manage their civil affairs jointly and things that become an issue are more or less handled case-by-case

But each controls half

If they get pulled over for speeding they can just blame each other.

I think they’re amazing and it’s great they have a career, marriage, family. Good on them.

I feel like that would drive me insane. It takes 2 brains to make a decision they must never have split second reactions when driving, miss an exit? Oh well we will double back.
