Meet Ronnie and Donnie Galyon, the world's unofficial oldest-living conjoined twins. They celebrated their 63rd birthday in October

The Ohio twins, who are joined at the waist and face each other, celebrated their longevity milestone playing at Florida’s amusement parks. Ronnie and Donnie Galyon beat the previous record holders, Italian twins Giacomo and Giovanni Battista Tocci, who were born in 1877 and lived to be 63. Since they were kids, the twins supported their family by performing in carnival sideshows in the U.S. and circuses throughout Central and South America.
