It's Twins! In Rare Black and White
All parents want their kids to be unique. But few expectant moms and dads are so rewarded as Florence and Stephan, a mixed-race couple who lives in Germany.
Several days ago, Florence gave birth to a healthy set of twins. The boys, named Ryan and Leo, emerged in a glorious, and extremely rare, set of different skin colors—one boy is white and the other black. How unusual is this? Apparently, medical experts consider it a "one in a million occurrence."
Reporters just picked up the story today, and already "black and white twins" is climbing the Search charts. If Oprah gets interested, watch out.
