This is a normal post I bet there are a load of scientists desperate to chop them up and see how its all working
the comment about "taking control" of the pedals makes me assume there is a kind of subconscious override thing going on.

This is a normal post We don't always like top chop things up you know!
Sometime we like to poke things with sticks too...

But you're right, I'm dying to get them into an fMRI machine large enough to house them and see what happens when one controls vs the other. 2 brains sharing a nervous system ffs. Makes me wonder if it is possible to share higher level cognitive functions, like vision and whatnot.

This is a normal post Organ distribution

Most of Abigail's and Brittany's shared organs are located at or below the level of the navel.[2]

* 2 heads
* 2 completely separate spinal cords
* 2 vertebral columns with ribs bridging the two columns; their coccyxes merge.
* 2 arms (originally 3, but rudimentary central arm was surgically removed, leaving central shoulder blade in place)
* 1 broad ribcage, with surgery to correct scoliosis and expand the pleural cavities
* 2 breasts
* 2 highly fused sternums, traces of bridging ribs
* 4 lungs (medial lungs moderately fused, not involving Brittany's upper right lobe); three pleural cavities
* 1 diaphragm with well-coordinated involuntary breathing, slight central defect
* 2 hearts in a shared circulatory system (nutrition, respiration, medicine taken by either affects both)
* 2 stomachs
* 2 gallbladders
* 1 liver, enlarged and elongated right lobe
* Y-shaped small intestine which experiences a slightly spastic double peristalsis at the juncture
* 1 large intestine with one colon
* 2 left kidneys, 1 right kidney
* 1 bladder
* 1 set of reproductive organs
* 2 separate half-sacrums, which converge distally
* 1 slightly broad pelvis
* 2 legs

This is a normal post Remember seeing a really interesting documentary about them.
One could tell when someone was touching the other one...although they said that they couldn't actually "feel" it.

Odd.

This is a normal post I read
* 1 slightly broad pelvis
as
* 1 slightly broad penis
Which would have upped the WTF factor by about 83%
