Ever heard of a Polar Body Twin? I have. It's when you are half identicle and half fraternal. And its true. It's when the egg recieves the sperm after it splits. I'm a polar twin myself. Me and my sister are.

Maybe so, but it is believed that the Olsen twins are Polar Body Twins. If you don't believe me, why don't you search yourself. And besides, I asked the other day and they insisted that it is true.

You can ask any geneticist that studies twins (I recommend asking Dr. Charles Boklage, he's on a Yahoo group called adulttwins) and you will find out that it has not been proven that polar body twinning occurs in humans.

The Olsens are fraternal twins. It is possible for fraternal twins to look as identical as identical twins and NOT be polar body.
