I came across an article while reading this morning's paper.
It seems there was a British doctor who was very busy recently
delivering two babies born within 1 hour of each other.

The mothers were identical twin sisters who had married brothers
who were also identical twins.  The article pointed out that
legally, the two babys are cousins, but genetically they are
brother and sister (their parents share gene sets).

Never thought about it that way...

(One other thing, some times it seems like this newsgroup
should be named net.psi ... :-)
