Identical twins break same arm on same day
Identical twins break same arm on same day

Identical twins from Manchester broke their left arm in the same place on the same child's slide on the same day.

Two-year-old Mitchell and Elliott Cocks, from Sale Moor, now have matching plaster casts to go with their matching clothes.

The Daily Express says the coincidence began when Mitchell fell off the slide in his back garden and banged his head. His mother Sarah took him to hospital where he was checked out and sent home.

The boys' father Christopher pushed the slide over on its side to stop any more accidents, but hours later Elliott tripped over the base of the slide and was taken to hospital too.

1. Is this the first sign of coming Ragnarok?
Is Fenris chained adequately?

5. The second kid did it on purpose?
To be like his twin. Or just the fact that with millions of twins something like this was bound to happen at some point and get in the newspaper. If it happened all the time it would be more than coincidence.

6. My twin and I fell
down two separate sets of stairs at the exact same time.

I fell down the one that went from the attic to the 2nd floor. Marge fell down the one that went from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor.
