  • whatTwo healthy babies. Two uteri. One mother. A Florida woman’s rare condition, called “uterus didelphys,” allowed her to have children in two separate uteri. So they’re twins, kinda sorta.
  • how? It’s incredibly rare for a mother to become pregnant in both uteri. There are only 100 known cases, and only one in five million uterus didelphys pregnancies succeed. This was one of them! source

Culture: RIP John Hughes, the guy responsible for every good ’80s film

  • I happen to go for the simplest, most ordinary things. The extraordinary doesn’t interest me. I’m not interested in psychotics. I’m interested in the person you don’t expect to have a story. I like Mr. Everyman.
  • Director and scribe John Hughes • On his body of work, which includes such mainstream masterpieces as “The Breakfast Club,” “Home Alone” (which he wrote but didn’t direct), “Sixteen Candles,” “Weird Science” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” amongst many others. All unbelievably mainstream, all incredibly memorable. Hughes died today of a heart attack. Bro was 59. Your childhood died with him, didn’t it Mr. Everyman? • source
