This is one of the oddest stories I have seen in a long time, and I am curious to find out how much truth there is in it:



The theory is that Nazi doctor Josef Mengele used a small Brazilian town for genetic experiments, and the proof is in the high number of twins being born (in in 5 pregnancies), with most of them being blonde and blue-eyed!

For years scientists have failed to discover why as many as one in five pregnancies in a small Brazilian town have resulted in twins – most of them blond haired and blue eyed.

But residents of Candido Godoi now claim that Mengele made repeated visits there in the early 1960s, posing at first as a vet but then offering medical treatment to the women of the town.

More at the Telegraph.

We saw it on TV the other night, first time since the 80s. Are all the best comedies from the 80s? Having been watching the US elections lately, it's good to see a politician capable of humour (Schwarzenegger). Twins - it's almost as if Obama was The Fresh Prince of Bel Air in his younger years. OMG! another biopic coming up for Will Smith!
