What do you think about news reports of "combined twin birth weight"?

Question

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080620/ap_on_fe_st/odd_big_twins

Thinking...maybe if the mom weighed between 120 and 180, THEN it would be news she had such big babies.... besides, the article says someone else has a higher twin birth weight.

Poll: Donuts or doughnuts?

Answer 1

Why do you say it would be news if the *mom* weighed less? The mother's weight has little to do with the baby's. And nobody else *has* a higher twin birth weight -- the article says heavier twins were born way back in 1927.
