Chang and Eng were the conjoined twin brothers whose condition and birthplace became the basis for the term "Siamese twins".

wasn't it just like a small piece of skin holding them together? I'm surprised it wasn't ever damaged.

They were joined at the sternum by a small piece of cartilage. Their livers were fused but independently complete. Although 19th century medicine did not have the means to do so, modern surgical techniques would have easily allowed them to be separated.

I have always thought that they looked like 2 drinking buddies trying to hold each other up from falling down.
