I think they’re the same conjoined twins where one is a country singer and the other isn’t?
There’s also conjoined twin women in Minnesota who are fifth-grade teachers. They were on some TLC show years ago and now they have regular lives. It’s interesting to me.

Yup! George is the country singer, and Abby and Brittany Hensel are the teachers. It’s amazing how they can live such separate lives!

I know it sounds strange, but I’ve been interested in conjoined twins for a while. I bought a biography of Chang and Eng Bunker (“Siamese twins”)from a local book fair, and I learned a lot of new things. Like, for example, their wives’ parents were more concerned that their daughters were marrying Asian men than the fact that they were conjoined twins (they married two sisters), and their sons fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War.

Have you heard of Carmen and Lupita? They have a youtube channel and have done vlogs, Q&As, etc!

No, I haven’t! I’ll have to check out their channel.
Christ is another word for Messiah. Nazareth is the city Jesus grew up in.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem due to a census call for taxes. Joseph had to go there for it because he was a decent of David (so was Mary). While there, Jesus popped out. After Jesus was born, they went to Egypt for a time due to King Herod about to decree a slaughter of all male children two years old and under. After Herod passed, they then went to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, where Jesus grew up.
I didn't know that about the Quran. That's pretty interesting. Do you have an interest in the Quran?

I'm not specifically very interested in the Quran, but I did also learn this on TV tropes on the same page, which is why I put it down, and it also did surprise me.

Marine iguanas live in the Galapagos, where they swim deep underwater. They also sneeze a lot to clear the sea salt from their noses. (Gross, I know, but the documentary kept showing it in slow-mo lol.)
They probably lost them. You might want to call whoever did them and see if they can figure out what happened.

In the South, Reese's (the candy brand) is pronounced "Reesy's." Like "Reesy cups", etc.

Legless lizards exist, I’ve seen pictures of ones with vestigial legs but I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a picture of fully legless ones until now.

Sogen Kato was once considered Tokyo's oldest man, but people hadn’t seen him in a while. His family said he was a “human vegetable.” However, in 2010, officials visited his house to celebrate Respect for the Aged Day and found his mummified corpse. He died in 1978 at the age of 79. His cause of death is unknown, but some relatives claim he was a devout Buddhist who mummified himself. Nevertheless, it’s widely thought his family lied to keep their fame from the record.

If you make a peace sign in Apple's photo booth app (at least on desktop), balloons appear. I can't believe I just discovered this on my own XD

I didn't know that you could buy wallpaper at Nook's Cranny in New Horizons until today. Look, I didn’t really start playing the game until recently, okay?
