24. Yes...the name Tripp.....
may have been a "in your face" by Bristol to dear old cheatin' Dad! (you are sooo busted)
Speaking of the strange names Ms. Moose-Killer names her kids, is this a coincidence or what regarding the name Trig for their Down syndrome baby??

Tri-G is another name for DS. When naming our 23 pairs of human chromosomes (Chromosomal nomenclature) each chromosome is given a letter and a number. Chromosomes 21 and 22 are assigned the letter G. Thus, when there are three chromosomes 21 due to the non dysjuction that leads to Down Syndrome, the abnormality is termed TRI-G or Trisomy 21. There are medical references and genetic references supporting these terms.
