ABC News Woo-Woo promotion...

Watch this ABC "News" clip & tell me if you think they prove the case for what they call "Twin Telepathy".

Personally, I kept waiting & waiting...And when the stories were over I was like WTF?!?!? This is what they claim is evidence for magical twin powers?

1. Same here. I kept waiting for something

really convincing and cool to be revealed, but nothing happened. The whole thing is ridiculous.

2. This "phenomenon" has a very natural explanation

No need to go into too much technical data either. If we are talking identical twins, their brains, at least at birth, are chemically, structurally and physically the same. Because of the shared DNA, these brains would develop at the same rate, with the same chemicals, etc. So when Twin A thinks of, say, a wheelbarrow - there is a chance that, due to the similar structure, Twin B would think of a wheelbarrow at the same time. Both brains have been conditioned similarly, and will respond in a similar way.

3. That's my thinking, too.
