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!

Re: 4 kidneys per brother
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

Re: 4 kidneys per brother
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.
