Week 25's Fact or Fiction - Jangar - 23-06-2005
Majority rules so :thumbs:
Microwave ovens heat food by sending out small radio waves called microwaves. These waves are reflected off the oven walls and onto the food. As the waves penetrate the food, the water molecules in the food begin to move. It is the molecules' vibration that heats the food.
Twins can have different fathers.

Week 25's Fact or Fiction - dudette - 24-06-2005
Identical twins are formed when the original fertilised egg divides into two embryos and so two babies. These twins will have the same father and mother and are identical in every way, genetically speaking.
Fraternal twins happen when two separate eggs are fertilised inside the womb and grow separately. These twins, if fertilised at the same time (ie by the same father) will not have the same DNA, but are rather like any siblings, except they were conceived within the same cycle.
So it is possible, that if the woman has had to eggs during her cycle, and been playing the field, so to speak
, that each egg may have been fertilised separately, and they are then only half-brother or sisters And the mother has some explaining to do, 9 months down the line... :eek:
