- CaptainNoPants, on 01/11/2008, -21/+475Oh man, they definitely had sex. That's just wrong. I wouldn't want my name released either. Time for a long vacation or a move.
- reuscel, on 01/11/2008, -4/+456At least they'd never forget one another's birthday.
- hamstock2020, on 01/11/2008, -9/+424Whats really awful is that they are still going to be in love with each other. I mean they got freaking Married!! those feeling don't just go away no matter the circumstances. I would be willing to bet they continue seeing each other s a couple.
- ambiguus, on 01/11/2008, -3/+327That's got to be an awkward situation when people start asking why the marriage didn't work out.
- stlcadet11, on 01/11/2008, -8/+316Dude you nailed your sister!
- DrDigg, on 01/11/2008, -3/+293Kind of think the conversation went like this
"Hey honey isn't it funny that we are both adopted, and that we both have the same birthday, and....
oh crap" - JKAL, on 01/11/2008, -0/+241the name Skywalker comes to mind
- greenlight2001, on 01/11/2008, -11/+187Oh stop. Two people who loved eachother had sex. Without their knowledge that they were brother and sister, I see no issue with that. The taboo all stems from having kids with relatives which would lead to genetic abnormalities for the kids, NOT from having sex with a person you love.
And no, I have not had sex with my relatives, just to preempt you ***** :P - robme, on 01/11/2008, -9/+181I'm just glad they didn't have kids...where mom=aunt and dad=uncle, kid=messed up.

- Dundasbro, on 01/11/2008, -7/+158I have no problem with it personally. I know it is an uncomfortable thought, but if they are in love I wouldn't think it is right to keep them apart. I guess if the subject of having kids came into it that would change for genetic reasons, but apart from that them being together hurts no-one. If they want to have kids I guess they could adopt or use donar sperm. Of course that won't happen with this couple, but it does seem to me to be a good answer if they wished to stay together.
- Chairboy, on 01/11/2008, -1/+141Awwwkward.
Well, at least he's not his own grandpa. - pixelatedcrap, on 01/11/2008, -3/+133After all these years! A possible explanation for Milhouse's parents!
- tekg33k, on 01/11/2008, -0/+123Irreconcilable Similarities?
- Coven, on 01/11/2008, -0/+121Somewhere George Lucas is sitting there reading this laughing his ass off while Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill simultaneously cringe.
- Mejogid, on 01/11/2008, -11/+119I really don't see what's 'wrong' about it. They shouldn't be allowed to have kids (since you're essentially condemning the unborn to a future of probable genetic diseases), but if they're in love and didn't even know I don't see what's wrong with it.
The only reason we're generally not attracted to siblings is because there's a genetic trait not to be attracted to those you grow up with - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_sexual_attrac ... for more information. I can't see how you can consider this to be wrong - morally or on any other level. - vanguardanon, on 01/11/2008, -4/+93Am I the only one that thinks it's not the most horrible thing in the world? Sure, over the long haul without genetic diversification the society will suffer. But if these two fell in love and had kids they would be ok. Problems like this don't go wild in one generation. Let them live their life.
- MattB123, on 01/11/2008, -0/+86Not that you're aware of anyway.
- Th3Hamburgler, on 01/11/2008, -1/+86Gutted... I wonder how they found out?
Pics.. ain't gonna happen as their identities have been kept secret :-(
Guess we'll have to wait till the inevitable Jeremy Kyle Show appearance! - akatherder, on 01/11/2008, -4/+82It happens all time. Except they weren't separated at birth.
- CaptainNoPants, on 01/11/2008, -2/+79lol, that reminds me of that scene from Ace Ventura, after he finds out his boss is a man and he's in the bathroom with a plunger on his face
- TornACL, on 01/11/2008, -2/+77Guess they were meant to be together....but seriously, counselling will be needed.
- drgirlfriend, on 01/11/2008, -3/+66"You guys really are the worst twins ever"
- gemmakicn, on 01/11/2008, -11/+70Nope, we are a liberal democracy not an autocratic corrupt republic :)
- turbopro, on 01/11/2008, -2/+61It was Lupus.
- jeremyduffy, on 01/11/2008, -2/+61Ok, that was unexpected. Nice one.
- Nidy1, on 01/11/2008, -0/+59You mean your sister?
- DarKnight90, on 01/11/2008, -2/+57He knew.
- dafragsta, on 01/11/2008, -2/+55Yep. I think humans are far more a product of their environment than their genes. Outside of procreation, this isn't a problem. They had no idea.
- Linkin4, on 01/11/2008, -0/+50It's kinda like star wars, except not.
- slicky803, on 01/11/2008, -0/+48It's not a tree, it's a wreath!
- mrthebunny, on 01/11/2008, -1/+49"It's never lupus..."
- dlcarter, on 01/11/2008, -6/+53Kind of like that episode of House...
- mtschmie, on 01/11/2008, -1/+46Bratislava. Hmm. Capital of Slovakia. Oh, here's a fun fact: YOU MADE OUT WITH YOUR SISTER!!!!
- endlessoul, on 01/11/2008, -0/+45Finkle and Einhorn, Finkle and Einhorn.
- jeremyduffy, on 01/11/2008, -7/+52It's only genetics that make them brother and sister. For all intents and purposes, they are the same as any two strangers who get married. It does kill their ability to have kids though.... But there's always adoption.
- insllvn, on 01/11/2008, -1/+44I did do the nasty in the pasty...
- somedirtbag, on 01/11/2008, -1/+43"Hey, can I borrow your guidebook?
Bratislava, here it is.
Capitol of Slovakia...
Oh, here's a fun fact!
You made out with your sister, man!" - dinobot, on 01/11/2008, -5/+45Let's go party to Bratislava, and don't forget the Absinthe!
- SammyJr, on 01/11/2008, -0/+38I never took a blood test before getting married.
- Gudlyf, on 01/11/2008, -0/+36I found this quote of gold in the article funny:
"And if you don't know you are biologically related to someone, you may become attracted to them and tragedies like this may occur." - enicholas, on 01/11/2008, -0/+34Fraternal twins are no more genetically similar than any other brother and sister.
- markp93, on 01/11/2008, -5/+39time for a long hot shower, too, to try to forget it all
- IglooFu, on 01/11/2008, -0/+34Um, no you don't.
Saying "in the United States" is a fallacy in that the federal government does not have anything to do with marriage. It would be a state requirement. When I got married in Washington, my wife and I were only required to fill out a form with our birth information and that of our parents. - SSUK, on 01/11/2008, -2/+34No, he's just not had sex. At all.
- lolinyerface, on 01/11/2008, -2/+33No. This happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.
- Jonsblckhwk, on 01/11/2008, -0/+31cuz you felt bad for cheating on your dad right?
- petebot, on 01/11/2008, -0/+30And then he's chewing all that gum in the next scene: "Your gun is digging into my hip..." *shudder*
- rabidg00se, on 01/11/2008, -9/+39I understand your point regarding a high risk of disease, but doesn't forbidding a married couple to have children seem a little dictatorial to you?
- SidBIncognito, on 01/11/2008, -3/+31The article says they felt an "inevitable attraction."
Reminds me that I once read about something like that, called "genetic sexual attraction."
