In a bizarre incident, a married couple in the US shockingly discovered that they were biological twins after getting a routine DNA test done at an IVF clinic. The couple, who met in college, was struggling to conceive naturally.

The couple had attended a Mississippi clinic hoping that it will help them have their own child.

A doctor at the clinic in Jackson, Mississippi, revealed the astonishing events and explained how the situation had come about.

"It's just a routine thing and we wouldn't normally check to see if there was a relationship between the two samples, but in this case, the lab assistant involved was shocked by the similarity of each profile," the doctor told the Mississippi Herald.

"My first reaction was that they must have been less- closely related; perhaps they were first cousins, which happens sometimes. However, looking closer at samples, I noticed there were way too many similarities," said the doctor, who was not named by the daily.

The doctor consulted the patient's files and noted that both had the exact same birth dates listed in 1984.

"With this in mind, I was convinced that both patients were fraternal twins," he said.

However, the doctor did not know if the couple was already aware of this or totally oblivious.

When he brought up the issue at their next appointment, the doctor said they initially "burst out laughing" in disbelief.

"The husband said that a lot of people remarked on the fact they shared the same birthdays and looked similar to each other, but he said it was just a funny coincidence and that the couple was definitely not related," the doctor said.

"The wife kept pleading with me to admit I was joking, and I wish that I was, but they had to know the truth," the medic said.

After talking it through with the man and woman, the doctor was able to establish how this had all happened.

The couple had met during college and instantly hit it off.

 

The entire country (except for some lucky regions) is facing the wrath of the Sun God. The heat has become so unbearable, that we’re praying for the clouds to shower mercy as soon as possible.

To check how much bad the situation is in your city – try breaking an egg on the street. If gets fried, god save you, if it doesn’t then the situation is not that bad.

The experiment was carried by an unidentified man in Titlagarh, Odisha, where he brought an oily pan and placed on a burning street. He got an egg; no fire required and broke it on the pan. In 10 seconds, the egg was simmering in the heat and was ready to eat!

The temperature in Titlagarh, Odisha is 45.5 degree Celsius! The locals are clearly having a tough time battling the heat.
