do you really think it is impossible for 2 sperm to penetrate an egg? or for the sperm to penetrate together?

How do you think we get twins, conjoined twins, siamese twins,and more?

I'm not trying to argue, just throwing that out there... there are always exceptions to the rule, and always possibilities outside of what makes sense to us.

I think some of these things with low possiblities are starting to show themselves more and more these days...

What happened to Mike actually happened to one or two others this year. Before then, we never heard of it.

Just like how many, many years ago, even if one parent had blue eyes and one had brown, it was almost guaranteed that the baby would have brown eyes.
Over the years I think those smaller chances are getting bigger..
We are seeing now more light eyed babies born to two dark eyed parents.
We are seeing random mutations and morphs popping out of normal breedings.


So, in closing, although we are taught that this shouldn't be possible, and if it were, the chances would be so small, it's almost not worth discussing, I think we may begin to see more of these 'impossibilites' going forward.



I'll tell you this, I believe that if Mike were to do that same pairing for 10-20 times in a row, I think we would definitely see this occur. Even if the animal were born still, or not fully formed, I think it will eventually happen.


Well, enough fun for the morning..lol.. gotta get some work done.

Later guys, Joe
