Is it possible for human to have two foreskins (one on another)?
In case there are two penes, it's s called Diphallia. But my question is about foreskin if it's possible to be doubled? (not talking about the physiological double layer which everyone has, but about an anomaly. If it exists, what's its name? --ThePupil (talk) 00:52, 3 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Apparently males in the genera Equus and Bos normally have a double foreskin. There it is not an anomaly. I did not see evidence of the condition having been observed in other mammal genera. If it is, a possible choice of a medical Latin name for the anomaly will be diacrobystiosis.


 * Thank you, but I'm interested to know about human, if it's possible to happen (with documentation). --ThePupil (talk) 09:55, 3 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Pretty much any deformity is possible. You have already been told that there is no evidence of this in humans or any other mammal outside of the two mentioned above. Please accept the answers that are given to you. --Guy Macon (talk) 13:59, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I see, thank you.--ThePupil (talk) 14:27, 3 July 2020 (UTC)


 * I somewhat doubt everyone has a foreskin, whether doubled or not... --CiaPan (talk) 15:02, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Body modifications like circumcision are one thing, but, as with the penis and clitoris themselves, while it's not called "foreskin" the clitoral hood is essentially the same thing. --47.146.63.87 (talk) 16:39, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * exactly! but very rarely people are born without foreskin. See Aposthia. --ThePupil (talk) 19:29, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Mistake in article
SpaceX Starship

In the table: "cost per year: 2019"59.153.241.128 (talk) 05:31, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * It was added on April 2, and I'm not so sure it was a mistake, just peculiar wording. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 06:30, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Looks like an error in Template:Infobox rocket. The parameters cpl and cpl-year are documented as meaning "cost per launch" and "year of stated cost per launch" respectively, but they display as two rows in a table, labeled Cost per launch (in this case, "$2 million (anticipated)") and Cost per year (in this case "2019").  If it's really worthwhile having an entry for the date of this particular data item, then it obviously should display in the same row, which would appear as something like "Cost per launch: $2 million (anticipated) (2019 data)".  I'll post a note on the talk page for that template. --76.71.5.208 (talk) 06:42, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
