A homoeopathic doctor from Sagar, a city in Madhya Pradesh, has devised a way to keep his car cool against the growing heat. Sushil Sagar, who is currently posted at the Khurai Civil Hospital, has plastered his car with cow dung.

While explaining his approach to news agency ANI, the doctor said, “It often happens in summer that the sheet on top of the car draws heat and increases the temperature inside the car. By applying cow dung coating, the inside temperature of the car does not rise. The heat that is felt while sitting inside the car during summer is avoided with this.”.

I have a really difficult time trying to even comprehend how people live as conjoined siblings, especially when half of their body is shared. I've actually watched vids done by other conjoined people similar to these two. It really makes me question the sense of being we individuals have.

They don't look like there's enough room in their shared body for all the internal organs but clearly there is.

I presume that they can both feel all parts of their shared body, including each other's faces/heads. As you say, it does throw up all sorts of philosophical and scientific questions.
