    What does ya means Southern India? There’s no different country or region called Southern India. There’s only one India. What is you trying to do here, Ripley’s? Do divisive politics?

    Identical quadruplets would have to be the same sex. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be identical.

    I’d say that identical quadruplets wouldshave to be of the same sex, by the definition of ‘identical’ (and the mechanism of production).

    Using throwaway baby bottles, or at least the nipples, might have been a virus-avoidance safety measure. Probably would have worked well.

    Guess the random factor insures that enough armadillos of opposite genders were delivered. Otherwise extinction would have been guaranteed.

    The drawing of the ‘oldest’ mamma seems to show her as very tired. Don’t blame her. And twins no less.

    Identical quadruplets will be the same sex, or they aren’t identical.

    I believe Sarah, Abraham’s wife, was in her 90’s when she gave birth.

    Some people are geography deficient. In a very large country, like India, there is North and South. That’s not politics.

    Yup, one egg gets fertilized, and then divides twice into separate capsules, creating a litter of four genetically identical offspring.

    Why adult baby bottles at the Einstein Cafe? Did they run out of cups and glasses???

    When Mangayamma gave birth, she was naturally the talk of the town. One friend came over and asked to see the babies. M said that she can see them when it’s feeding time. The friend thought that was a little odd, but said Okay. Another friend came over and asked to see the twins. Once again, M said they can see them when it’s feeding time. The first friend finally decided to ask why they had to wait. M said that she forgot where she put the babies and had to wait until they started crying in order to find them.

    The father was signed to a contract by a Viagra ad campaign company.

    Dubai’s approach to combat COVID-19 is preferred over hydroxychloroquine or ingesting bleach.

    Which might explain what some armadillos scream about.

    Customers clearly not ‘Einsteins’. Wonder how much $ the cafe took off the gullible.

    Mangayamma Yaramati of northern india had them stress that. She needed to let people she would never do anything like that.

    Sarah, Abraham’s wife, was 90 when she gave birth to Isaac the miraculous promised son. And that’s not counting the mothers right after Creation, who lived hundreds of years, many of which were childbearing years. =)But for the past few centuries, 74 is pretty impressive!

    If they are identical quadruplets they would be the same sex by definition.

    Gave Birth at 74.

    I hope she didn’t breastfeed them!

    Probably could have done it from an adjoining room, though.
