Hi TIPsters! Two shows are coming up on The Learning Channel which may be of interest. I haven't seen either show, I'm just bringing them to your attention. (All text is from The Learning Channel website, http://tlc.discovery.com/tlcpages/) Kirsten �Twins� Step right up, laides and gentlemen and prepare yourselves for a journey into the bizarre world of identical twins. Your voyage begins with a startling look at twin biology and astounding physical oddities. You will witness the reunion of twins separated at birth. You will have no choice but to face the awesome complexities and puzzling features of the twin mind as you contemplate the debate over nature vs. nurture, twin telepathy and other mysterious phenomena ... How do we explain, as a society and a culture, our fascination with twins? Identical twins seem to share a bond that many of us desire � symbiotic harmony and unconditional acceptance. But in addition to our emotional reactions, there's also a carnivalesque fascination with twins and their biological similarity. A tremendous amount of anecdotal evidence exists to support the idea that twins do in fact understand each other in ways the rest of us can't comprehend. Even those who are skeptical about paranormal research, ESP and theories of altered consciousness are often somewhat open to the idea that twins can communicate in special ways.

Experts and opinionated siblings explore the role of birth order in life. Air Time(s) Eastern/Pacific Time: TLC May 16 2000 1:00 AM TLC May 16 2000 10:00 PM Kirsten L.
