culture conundrums

one of those quirky bits of information that pop up during one's late shift at work.
when you do a google.ae search for 'identical twins in dubai', the first 5 links talk about... camel twins!

wonder if the obsession with 'leggy young things' also has a different connotation in DoBuy...!?
