Sister from another mister: Twins born to different dads

Whoa: A woman in northern Poland gave birth to twins -- a boy and a girl -- who were fathered by two different men: her husband and the man she was having an affair with. It's rare, but it can happen when a woman produces two eggs and has sex with more than one partner while she's ovulating.

I once had a good friend, an African American woman that had sex with her boyfriend on New Years Eve, and sex with a white guy on New years Day. we kidded her for months that she would have one of each. She was truly scared that she would have two noticeably different looking children. Luckily she had two beautiful AA babies. Whew. I think there could have been a problem if that didn't happen. lol
