Conjoined Twins in China...

... or as the press reports it, "TWO HEADED BABY!!!"

I feel sorry for the parents of the child, they didn't find out about the problem until two days before giving birth.  This is super rare, most conjoined twins die within 24 hours of birth.  In fact, that only living two-headed twins I can think of are Brittany and Abigail Hensel of Minnesota.  Not only are these twins surviving... they are thriving!  Brittany is ENGAGED to be married.

And you think it's rough on the unmarried sibling when another gets engaged, what with everyone remarking, "next it's your turn" and "will you ever settle down?"  Try being attached to your sibling and hearing her get congratulated every day on her impending nuptials.  Poor Abby.

I wish someone would be kind enough to explain to me the marriage rules when it comes to conjoined twins.

If the twins have two heads but share the same body (as we see here) then marry two different people, wouldn't that be considered bigamy?

I'm so confused.
