    		I thought the armadillo always has identical quadruplets.

    		Having stopped consulting the top of my head and done a bit of checking, it seems that the precise number of offspring varies from species to species, and can be anything from 2-12: in the nine-banded armadillo (genus Dasypus) it *is* "nearly always" quads. But whatever the number, they are ALWAYS identical and develop from a single fertilized ovum.

    		That is the trouble with armadillo offspring always being identical, once you have seen one you have seen them all.

    I just watched a show where one identical twin had a genetic disorder and the other didn't. How can this happen with identical twins?

    Do identical twins have identical fingerprints or identical DNA?

    Do identical twins each favor the same hand?
