PALOS HILLS, Ill., March 14 (UPI) -- Thirty-nine sets of twins attend a high school in Cook County, Ill., where state officials say the twin birth rate sits at nearly 3 percent.
The Chicago Sun-Times said Sunday that Illinois Department of Public Health statistics suggest Cook County's twin birth rate has been nearly 3 percent for the last 20 years, resulting in twins becoming a common sight at Stagg High School in Palos Hills, Ill.
Among the 39 sets of twins attending the Palos Hills school are Andrew and Matt Witek, whose unique claim to fame is being born in different locations.
