Holy fuck: Those twins: The Bunker brothers were born on May 11, 1811 in Siam (now Thailand), in the province of Samutsongkram, to a fisherman and a mother (Nok or นาก [Nak] in Thai).[3] Although 19th century medicine did not have the means to do so, modern surgical techniques would have easily allowed them to be separated. Their Traphill home is where they shared a bed built for four. Chang and his wife had 10 children; Eng and his wife had 11. During the American Civil War Chang's son Christopher and Eng's son Stephen both fought for the Confederacy. Chang and Eng lost part of their property as a result of the war, and were very bitter in their denunciation of the government in consequence. The twins died on the same day in January of 1874. Chang, who had contracted pneumonia, died rather suddenly in his sleep. Eng awoke to find his brother dead, and ed for his wife and children to attend to him. A doctor was summoned to perform an emergency separation, but Eng refused to be separated from his dead brother. He died three hours later. Chang's wife died on April 29, 1892 and Eng's wife died on May 21, 1917.

I KNOW?? *facepalm*
