I have heard before about such things. twins not forming separately. Years and years ago heard of this. So what are you saying? if with prenatal scans they would have done something then? done what?

The woman can decide if she wants to abort the whole process.

The oldest star - No, not Lauren Becall!

Astronomers find one of the universe's oldest stars: 13.5-billion year old stellar body was discovered thanks to its extremely low level of metals

• Scientists found it by looking at its metal content which is lower than any other
• The star is only around 10 per cent of the mass of the sun, astronomers say
• This is why it has gone undetected for so long despite being in the Milky Way

New drugs to make cow manure less stinky.

The smell of horse and cow manure never bothered me; however, the manure of chickens and hogs...that stuff stinks. My uncle lives on the eastern shore of Maryland and that's what the farmers use to spread on their fields. Nasty stuff...

Excerpt:

Maybe it's an alien spacecraft.

Scientists have been puzzling over Oumuamua ever since the mysterious space object was observed tumbling past the sun in late 2017. Given its high speed and its unusual trajectory, the reddish, stadium-sized whatever-it-is had clearly come from outside our solar system. But its flattened, elongated shape and the way it accelerated on its way through the solar system set it apart from conventional asteroids and comets.



Now a pair of Harvard researchers are raising the possibility that Oumuamua is an alien spacecraft. As they say in a paper to be published Nov. 12 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, the object "may be a fully operational probe sent intentionally to Earth vicinity by an alien civilization."

Yesterday at 7am, my phone rang and it was an international number. Later, I heard a message from my phone saying that there was a lawsuit filed against me and that I had to call his department number with about 7 numbers which didn't resembled any of our phone number. After the last chance warning and serious threat, the voiced over message wished me a blessed day. I just chuckled, but this kinds of calls and messages have led to numerous suicides.
