these twins...just..wow

these conjoined twins are completely different in personality, but they have the same mind. they're conjoined at the head, sharing the same brain and sensory organs.
i'll let the article tell you the rest:
Most importantly, however, they can share each other thoughts, like their grandmother—Louise McKay—describes:
They share thoughts, too. Nobody will be saying anything, and Tati will just pipe up and say, ‘Stop that!' And she'll smack her sister.
Scientists are nothing short of absolutely amazed. Here you have two kids, completely different from each other, with their own distinct personality, but with connected brains and sensory systems. Dr. Douglas Cochrane—neurosurgeon at Vancouver's Children's Hospital—has tested their networking abilities:
Their brains are recording signals from the other twin's visual field. One might be seeing what the other one is seeing.
Nobody can possibly imagine how this may work and feel for them. And since they haven't developed their full verbal skills yet, scientists can't ask them about it. I don't know if they will have a lot of answers for them, however. If they ask me how I see or smell things, there is no way that I could accurately describe it. These actions just happen. Like you and me, they have no other point of reference. Their life is the only one they know. For them, sharing thoughts and senses is the only way things could be.

How is it possible to have the same mind but different personality ?:confused:
-
what if one wants to eat and the other is on a diet? would they brain-fight each other over who gets control of the hands and mouth? it's all very interesting to me :D

Wow, really. I am sure that they're going to suffer at the end.
