The New York Times has a monster read that investigates the possibility that conjoined twins could share a mind. Instapaper/bookmark this! 3.

For all those of you who listen to music as part of your daily commute (who doesn’t?)  this video should strike a chord: 5. A piece of sufficiently weird news.
