I remember the CSI: Las Vegas episode involing this. Where the guy had different DNA in his sperm then he had in his blood. Yes, its really rare.

Google Search Results of Tetragametic Chimera

Can start by looking through Google.

Yeah I've heard about it too. I also heard that there were only like 4 actually recorded Chimera in the world... thats really rare...

another rarity is when ppl's organs are on opposite sides of the body.. so the heart is on the right, and appendix is on the left and so forth.. its called situes inversus.

It was also on CSI ( the original)

never heard of it...

ya i saw that episode that talked about it
