Twin

Twins are two offspring produced by the same pregnancy. Twins can either be monozygotic ("identical"), meaning that they can develop from just one zygote that will then split and form two embryos, or dizygotic ("fraternal"), meaning that they can develop from two different eggs; each are fertilized by separate sperm cells.

In contrast, a fetus which develops alone in the womb is called a singleton, and the general term for one offspring of a multiple birth is multiple.

Statistics

The twin birth rate in the United States rose 76% from 1980 through 2009, from 18.9 to 33.3 per 1,000 births. The Yoruba have the highest rate of twinning in the world, at 45–50 twin sets (or 90–100 twins) per 1,000 live births, possibly because of high consumption of a specific type of yam containing a natural phytoestrogen which may stimulate the ovaries to release an egg from each side.

In Central Africa there are 18–30 twin sets (or 36–60 twins) per 1,000 live births. In Latin America, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, the lowest rates are found; only 6 to 9 twin sets per 1,000 live births. North America and Europe have intermediate rates of 9 to 16 twin sets per 1,000 live births.

Twin Flames

"Twin Flames" is the second single to be taken from British indie rock band Klaxons' second studio album, Surfing the Void. The song was released on 25 October 2010, ahead of their upcoming UK tour. The song appeared on Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit in 2010 along with the song "Echoes".

Music video

A music video for the song debuted in November 2010. It is notable for its extensive nudity. The band members are involved in an orgy with several women. As the video progresses their body parts begin to fuse. Directed by Saam Farahmand and inspired by the horror film Society it is notable for its use of motion control rigs and computer blending to create a surrealistic visual effect.

Twin

Open the gate to a new level
Zero point starts 2008
My friend is me he has my genius
What is to come for us
We have the same girl
Scientists duplicate me
3, 4 or 100 times
Fear or pleasure
No feeling for risk, no overview
No time, no return
The history comes through our future
Comes through my genetic code
She loves me and everybody gives her my seed
Is there a sense?
Now it makes me sick
