			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s an <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=2346476&#038;page=1">article over on abcnews</a> that describes a man who had his twin brother growing in him for 36 years.  (Uhh, eww?)  <em>But that&#8217;s not the interesting part.</em>  My buddy <a href="http://www.zabbo.net/">Zach</a> points out the similarity of the text from the article and a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetus_in_fetu">related wikipedia article</a>.  First, the wikipedia article:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Fetus in fetu</strong> (or Foetus in foeto) describes an extremely rare abnormality that involves a fetus getting trapped inside of its twin. It continues to survive as a parasite even past birth by forming an umbilical cord-like structure that leeches its twin&#8217;s blood supply until it grows so large that it starts to harm the host, at which point doctors usually intervene.</p></blockquote>
<p>And the abcnews article:</p>
<blockquote><p>It is an extremely rare abnormality that involves a fetus getting trapped inside of its twin. The trapped fetus can survive as a parasite even past birth by forming an umbilical cord-like structure that leeches its twin&#8217;s blood supply until it grows so large that it starts to harm the host, at which point doctors usually intervene.</p></blockquote>
<p>I wonder who came first, or of they are both taking from somewhere else.  The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Parasitic_twin&#038;action=history">last edit on the wikipedia page</a> is from July of 2006.  I wonder if the abcnews article is recycled from something earlier as well.</p>
