Born at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Dayton, Ohio on October 28, 1951, the twins brought the biggest surprise to their parents, Wesley and Eileen Galyon's lives.

Linked from the sternum to the groin, the American twins could not be separated because they share only one set of organs.

During their childhood, their father Wesley decided to take them on the road to be a sideshow attraction where they were paraded throughout the U.S. and Latin America. This made them celebrities and brought them a comparative fortune which they used to support the rest of the 9 Galyon children.

After three decades on the road, the brothers retired and moved to their very own independent house. In 2009, they almost didn't make it after suffering from an infection and eventually needed round-the-clock care.

Thanks to plenty of generous hearts in their area and their younger brother Jim and his wife, Mary, the world's oldest conjoined twins' spirits lifted up after moving in with couple in their modified apartment the twins now call home in Beavercreek.

Now, they are looking forward to officially being crowned as the World's Oldest Coinjoined Twins by the Guiness Book of World Records which would happen in October, on their 63^rd birthday.

"It's what me and Donnie's always dreamed about, and we hope to get the ring, because we've dreamed about getting this since we were kids," Ronnie Galyon told Dayton Daily News in an interview two days ago.

In a video clip uploaded by the Daily Mail, the twins re-introduced themselves to the world with these words: "God made us this way, let Jesus separate us."
