Its members include the World's Tallest Nebraskan; Primi, the Premature Baby; the Log Cabin Republican; and conjoined twins Tuck and Benny. The story centers on a set of conjoined twins, Tom and Barry Howe (played by the unconjoined and irresistibly gorgeous Harry and Luke Treadaway), who are discovered and groomed--make that "exploited"--by an impresario who's looking for a novelty rock band. Conjoined twins result from incomplete separation of monozygotic, monochorionic twins early in embryonic development, resulting in body parts of the otherwise normal twins remaining fused throughout development. |
