Saudi king orders treatment for Egyptian twins conjoined at the head
2016-12-31
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
’s King Salman
...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Cutodian of the Two Holy Mosquesand Lord of Most of the Arabians....
al-Saud has ordered the transfer of the Egyptian twins ‐ Menna and May ‐ conjoined at the head from their country to Riyadh to conduct the necessary treatment and evaluate the possibility of separating them.

The daughters of Islam Saqr Ramadan Hassan from Egypt are conjoined at the head and are set to be flown to King Abdul-Aziz Medical center in.

"This parental and humanitarian gesture from the King of the Arabians, Sheikh of the Burning Sands, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques is an extension to his great and noble attitudes towards humanitarian work and serving the less fortunate of this dear homeland and the Arab, Islamic and friendly countries are derived from the teachings of our Islamic religion," said Dr. Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz Rabiah, an advisor at the Royal Court and General Supervisor of King Salman Relief and Humanitarian Center.

The twins are conjoined in the back of the head and share some tissue and veins around the brain area.

#6  Take a moment, and enjoy this Washington Post article from 2015.

If simple intention was sufficient, Marxism would work. Having the skill to attempt a procedure, that is noteworthy. Kind of an Apollo 13 thing, I guess.

#5  Sweet babies, I hope the surgery is a success. I'm sure there will be a staff of consulting neuro's nearby.

Will they count as one wife or two?

#2  I'm pretty sure Pappy would send you to your room for that, Besoeker.

It won't be long before it is brought to the Saudi king's attention that he no longer has the oil income to indulge in such hand-waving munificence. Isn't it lovely that we needn't suffer the oil running out before we can kick sand in the Soddy national face! Here's hoping the some tissue the girls share isn't critical to brain function, and the girls survive the surgery unharmed.
