Unexplained Phenomenon


I'm no biologist, but...doesn't ONE sperm + one egg = Baby (or babies)???

Did they 'fuse' the multiple fathers' sperms into one SUPER sperm???

Science that we mortals can't understand. That's how I alway's took it.

Yeah that thought had crossed my mind too, but I guess you have to give them some film writers creative licence and just go with it! lol

Yeah, now that you mention it, even if it was as simple as taking all the 'stuff' and pouring it all into one cup, it isn't 'technically' mixed DNA.

(They'd have to slice the sperms into peices and rebuild one...
and that's using some pretty small knives.)

There'd still be one winner from one male.
That means that only ONE male 'giver' bears the roots of Perfection.

Of course, if they paired it w/just one egg, then Arnold and Danny would have been identical twins. Fraternal twins are from two eggs.

Well aren't they just saying that it was one egg and two people got split from it and the qualities weren't equal?

I thought in the beginning of the movie the doctor explains it? I'm pretty sure he says "I would like a number 7, large, with a Wild Cherry Pepsi...oh you don't have Wild Cherry Pepsi?....Oh, oh no that's fine, I'll just have a Pepsi....thanks! You too."

Yep. But I could have sworn he was at a Krusty Burger. Oh well

Why do you have that on your head? Chris Knight: Because if I wear it anywhere else it chafes.
