are we back to the first joke again now ?

so you would have to inseminate almost 4 women every second.

Sounds like freshers week at University

But if you have a history of twins in the family it becomes much more achievable.

It depends when in the family. A twin woman is far less likely to have twins, but her daughter is more likely to. And her sons won't have any.

How do you know that?

And what if her sons shag their sisters?

Normal for Norfolk

Apparently, it's just how it goes.
And they still wouldn't have twins, they do it all the time in Norfolk and there's no twins there. But there are multiple mutants.

So this isn't about some amoral chancer who ran a dodgy fertility clinic then......?

When I lived in the US, there was a case of a doctor who ran a fertility clinic - he would sit down with prospective clients, go through the whole donor selection spiel with them. Having done so, whether they'd selected a six-foot harvard graduate or a gay ginger scotsman, he'd just nip into the back room and smash out a dishonourable discharge.
50 kids. All his. The papers called him 'the Sperminator'.

I seem to recall a similar story of a fertility clinic in The Netherlands (rather appropriately) where the same thing happened. Wasn't there a book/TV programme/newspaper interviews with people who suddenly discovered they had an unfeasible number of siblings?
