Introducing: The World's Oldest Conjoined Twins!

Filed under: TV News > Inspiration

twins.jpg

On Sunday TLC will air World's Oldest Conjoined Twins, which documents the lives of brothers Ronnie and Donnie Galyon.

Doctors thought that Ronnie and Donnie - who are fused at the lower chest and share a digestive system - would not survive even their first night in the world. But the twins have defied the odds and are now retired at the age of 57 after working in circus sideshows.

The documentary follows the twins as they grapple with everyday tasks and undaunted, find ways to cope, "from shaving each other’s faces to using their opposing hands to make morning toast."

Inspiring!

    No "Old People"? Maybe Perez is finally growing up and showing true compassion. It's about time. God bless these two men.

  4. 4

    This is such a bizarre twist of life. Very sorry for them.



  5. 5

  6. 6

    Bet they are still virgins!!! LOL



  7. 7

  8. 8

    gross. i just hurled my lunch all over my keyboard. STOP SHOWING THIS SHIT.



  9. 9

    wonder if they are virgin



  10. 10

    So when they're having sex, who watches and who's active?
    When they're masturbating, is that like they're having sex with each other?
    OK, this is one of my stupidest posts ever.



  11. 11

    EEeeeeeewwwwww!!!!!



  12. 12

    wow,interesting,god bless



  13. 13

    please…..warning next time



  14. 14

    Re: ullala82
    Thank you. That was my only question. What else matter, really??



  15. 15

    Freak just like you - Pervez. You wouldn't give a shit about this story if it didn't catch the attention of your readers and fill space for you — lazy cow.



  16. 16

    ooo, that looks uncomfortable.



  17. 17

    Re: Novel1 – wow your mean!



  18. 18

    I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE HOW HARD IT WOULD BE TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH LIFE LIKE THIS…I MAKES ME THANK GOD FOR HOW BLEESED MY LIFE HAS BEEN…



  19. 19

    obviously this (these?) are a biological error, they should go back to the hospital that didn't let them die in peace after birth (condemning them to life as freaks) and sue for millions

    plus the fucking old testament has got to go, nothing but a giant collection of primitive, tribal, obsolete crap



  20. 20

    Please don't show this stuff as it gives me nightmares. It's sort of creepy and gross and I can't stop staring even against my will. Just stop it!



  21. 21

    Holy shit I don't want to imagine giving birth to THAT!!!!



  22. 22

    Saying stuff like this is creepy and gross and ewwww, and I just hurled shows how immature many readers on here are. It's not their fault that they are conjoined. It could've happened to any of us. Be thankful it didn't!!! It's not creepy and gross. Unusual yes, but to attach those kinds of words to it must be hurtful to people living that life. I mean these poor guys have worked in circus sideshows because of it. They probably didn't have many other options. First and foremost they are people with feelings just like you and me.



  23. 23

    Re: proloz32 – you are so right, some of the post made me sick… very well said



  24. 24

    God Bless them, it must be unbelievably hard to live life like that, not to mention all the RUDE comments that people on posting on here…



  25. 25

    the majority of people who left comments about this reinforce how sick and sad the world is. grow the fuck up and show some compassion and understanding for your fellow person/people.



  26. 26

    Wow. Incredibly creative title.



  27. 27

    I'll be sure to watch! This type of life intrigues me. It's amazing!



  28. 28

    I really do think Perezzie is on a course to win back members. His hits mus tbe down! He was downing Adam-now he's supporting him. And now he calls this story inspiring. I seriously don't think perez has one good bone in his body. He's not evil but he's not too caring either!



  29. 29

    man, i can't think of anything that would suck more than having to deal with this your whole life!



  30. 30

    All you people who put mean posts up here about these 2 men, you should all be ashamed of yourselves. Its not like they asked to be born like this. It is not disgusting. Like i always said WHAT COMES AROUND GOES AROUND. God forbid any of you asses have a child that has something wrong, what are you going to do send them away? Think to yourselves everyday how nasty your children are?



  31. 31

    Lefty's looking pretty sassy with his hand on hip!



  32. 32

    Okay, so I'm curious about orgasms… which brain feels it… do they "both" cum? I'm so fucking intrigued.



  33. 33

    I think they did not have a choice to be born the way they are and how would they have felt if one twin was killed in order for the other twin to survive? This way they are bother alive no harm done. They have each other were many of us can feel alone or lonely all our lives they will not.



  34. 34

    Only immature and insecure people would make fun of these brave souls….have some compassion for these two who have made it so far.



  35. 35

    I couldn't imagine living like that. My hat's off to you two guys.



  36. 36

    holy moly



  37. 37

    This is like the third time they have been on TLC and the Dicovery channel. They are so sweet!! I wanted to cry when I watched their first special!



  38. 38

    Re: tatasgalore

    You really should, I can't imagine they have had too much of that. That is just freakish and wrong. Just the daily life of a person, I just cant imagine. Who decides when it's time to punch your clown? Does one dude go blind, or both?



  39. 39

    i wonder what kinds of conversations they have..



  40. 40

    Yawn …. we saw this in the UK months ago…



  41. 41

    Yawn …. we saw this in the UK months ago…



  42. 42

    I watched this in the UK about 2months ago, theyre really nice happy guys :)



  43. 43

    aww i bet their virgins. that sucks.



  44. 44

    how odd……..
    *
    i wonder why God creates people w/ handicaps like the above……is it to challenge the person(s) it affects or is it to find the compassion in others? My heart goes out to the men above - from some posts below, it sounds as tho they make the best of the hand they've been dealt……..



  45. 45

    That was on months ago on Channel 4 in the UK …



  46. 46

    I hope all the haters have conjoined twins or grandchildren.



  47. 47

    God bless them!

    When you think of all the stupid things that most of us take for granted…

  48. Laxer says – reply to this


    48

    Sad that they had to make a living as circus freaks.



  49. 49

    Creepy!



  50. 50

    TLC couldn't come up with a more creative title?



  51. 51

    I wonder if they are virgins?



  52. 52

    I watched this on TLC- it was really cute! As I was watching though, I wondered if they ever just get so fed up with each other that they punch the other in the face— and I found another article that said they SURE do! Their other brother had found them with black eyes and busted up lips after they had beat each other up. But they always make up…



  53. 53

    Watching this now from DVR; quite an interesting story.
