Oddity

The Resume

    (1974-July 8, 2003)
    Earned Law degrees
    Conjoined Iranian twins who died hours after being separated

Why they might be annoying:

    Their separation surgery took fifty hours.
    28 doctors and 50 nurses were involved in their separation surgery.
    Ladan's name sounds very close to (Bin) Laden.
    They had 11 brothers and sisters and were born to poor parents.
    They had their separation surgery in Singapore.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They were incredibly personable and well educated.
    They went to Germany to be separated in 1998, but were told the technology was not ready yet.
    When the doctors announced the death of the first twin, the normally stoic press was stunned into a silent grief.
    They were aware of the risks of the separation surgery, and were given a 50/50 chance.
    The twins died 90 minutes apart due to excessive blood loss.
    Laleh wanted to become a journalist and Ladan wished to become a lawyer.
    They graduated law school.
