4 kidneys per brother
 
josip galic who is 69 and from bosnia, had a car accident recently..... during routine checks for his health and well being under those circumstances, it was found that he actually has 4 kidneys.

Ooer! Sounds like an upgrade for the human race. :)

I wonder how many times they have to spend a penny?

Yep - I think Incog deserves an EBTA for that. :)

Evolution at work.

Now all we need is alcohol poisoning to kill the rest of us and a new variant of human will exist!

the kidneys produce about 200 quarts (or 190 liters) of fluid and reabsorb all but one to two quarts, which come out as urine.
but that is only with 2 kidneys,so double it,wow that is 1 pee

It isn't genetics, unless you're telling me his children will inherit it.

Are they twins? It must be genetic if two brothers happen to have the exact same irregularity.

Well, if they are the brothers it must be genetic, it's highly unlikely that two people would have the exact same successful mutation.
