                    Wikipedia claims by MatthewDBA2006-12-13 13:23:07
                      Ok. are there any numbers on how by subbywan2006-12-13 13:32:28
                        I don't know that you could extrapolate by MatthewDBA2006-12-13 13:38:39
                          that's why I was hoping there were numbers by subbywan2006-12-13 13:42:40
                            Lacking a number, I'd venture its the same rate by kahuana 2006-12-13 13:55:34
as everyone else.

So 1 in 150 of your criminals (this seems very high to me) will have an identical twin.

I could almost accept a 1 in 150 births are twins when including fraternal.

I would have thought that the rate of identical twins would be 1:1000 or thereabouts.

Notice, though, it is still much higher than the 1 in 200,000 which was the "match" rate someone mentioned elsewhere.
