    According to the above RTE News item:

    "Paternity tests revealed there is a 99.9% chance Justin and Jordan do not have the same father and zero percent chance they do"

    Imagine trying to explain the maths of this to the boys when they start asking about their dad(s)!!! :confused:

    The odds of this actually happening are so enormous, it deserves a news piece!

    Saw this on an episode of Maury the other day. I figured they just messed up the test but Maury seemed pretty sure it was possible.

    He looked pretty disgusted actually, all like "Do you know the time-frame that needs to happen here!"

    Well according to that article it's one period cycle.

    I'm guessing Maury got it wrong and figured it was like some sort of two blokes in one night type deal

    I love the bit down from the photo where the mother says she has no intention of telling the other father about the child...! As if he'll miss it.........

    not the first time this has happened ,means the mother had sex with two different men AND had ovulated twice , even then it would be fairly unlikely with all the hormonal changes on conception.

    Happened to a woman in Germany , only one of the kids was black.
