  1. siamese twin

    Siamese twin, traditionally known as conjoined twin, is a term used to refer to identical twins who are physically joined in utero. They are a rare phenomenon, resulting from a single fertilized egg failing to fully separate during the early stages of embryonic development. The degree of conjunction varies, and the twins could share a portion of their bodies, like the chest, head, or pelvis, or entire organs. The term "Siamese Twins" originates from Chang and Eng Bunker, who were born in Siam (known today as Thailand) and became famous in the 19th century.

    They should, but their September meeting language must be so careful, that 'one and done' represents an increasing possibility – at least for the next six months, the Fed is beginning to recognize that 6 years of zero bound interest rates have negative influences on the real economy – it destroys historical business models essential to capitalism such as pension funds, insurance companies, and the willingness to save money itself. If savings wither then so too does its Siamese Twin – investment – and with it, long-term productivity, the decline of which we have seen not just in the U.S. but worldwide.
