A "joke" in the glibc manual

God, I'm glad that's not true. I'd be a murderer by proxy at least. (I arguably crowded out my identical twin, though he didn't actually die until after he was born, an action done by conscious choice of medical staff and parents which I completely agree with even though it *was* technically probably murder: he could have been kept alive indefinitely but would likely never have regained consciousness and would have had a dreadful quality of life even if he had. It's the sort of edge case that makes the law scream, but frankly it is better that I live for him. Even more horrifying is what happens to twins sharing a placenta if one twin dies in utero -- do you prosecute the twin that died first for murder after it in effect vampirically sucks the other twin's entire blood supply into its own body, on account of not having a working heart to pump it out again? Parasitic necromurder! Biology is often horrible and does not care about our legal niceties.)
