Yessm :)

Totally cool what genetics can do.

really cool!

I do like how the Doctor said "Both kids have definitely the same father."

:weirdface

Like there could be a possibilty of 2 different fathers for twins.

:rolleyes:

Actually, there have been cases where twins did have two fathers...

If there were two separate eggs (as opposed to one that split), two fathers are possible.

I was thinkin the SAME thing!

There was a case in the US.... years ago of a pair of faternal twins where the maternal grandparents were black and white (gramma was blonde), the dad was blonde...

One of the sons was black, and the other was blonde with blue eyes. They used to carry a pic of the family in my genetics text.

I'd say one is mocha... :D But still definitely alot lighter than his brother! wish they'd shown face shots!

But remember they were newborns...they'll change a bit as they age. Heck, I look asian in my baby picture...but you wouldn't mistake me for one now.:P
