An bizarre story spotted at Lowering The Bar on a paternity case in New Jersey involving a set of twins where the judge ruled that the father of one twin was not the father of the other, following DNA evidence.
In what is said to be only the third such paternity case in the U.S., a New Jersey judge ruled that a man identified as "A.S." had to pay child support for one twin but not the other, because he was not that twin's father. How is that possible? I'm sure A.S. had the same question
[...] Basically, this can happen if, in the course of about a week, one blessed event occurs, the female ovulates again, and then she has a second romantic partner who also hits the target. Scientists refer to it as "heteropaternal superfecundation" but it is known informally as Have None of These People Ever Heard of Birth Control Syndrome.

It's always the man's fault for sticking his dick where it's not wanted. All men are incurable rapists. The best solution is lock them in prison forever. All of them.

Prison. Right. That sounds like a place where dicks are stuck where they are not wanted like all the time. But male-on-male rape is apparently okay in your book or mind.
