Oh, that's lovely.

Oh, that's great.

Do you have to look like the other twin, or do you have to look like a celebrity?

Yeah, and these sisters... Why cut down your clientele by about 97%?

Alexander Graham Bell was interested in twins.

um specifically sheep twins and he put 250 000 of his own money and much of the last 30 years of his life in trying to make more sheep give birth to twins because what he thought was he saw that lots of animals like you know kittens and puppies are born in like five six seven puppies for instance from one dog uh but sheep were usually they would only have one or two

And so he thought, well, what if we could make sheep have more children?

Obviously, loads more money for farmers.

And he noticed that sheep that had more than two nipples produced more twins.

So he went around the country trying to find as many multi-nippled sheep as he could.

And then he started selectively breeding them.

And the idea was he would get a breed of sheep that gave birth to way more twins.

Well, two was his first aim, but he thought that maybe he'd be able to get multiple births if he just kept finding more and more nipples on sheep.
