I have recently come across three eggs that i made and it had two yokes each. Is it normal? it kind of made me wanna be a veggiterian, is like i was eating twins. Two eggs came in the same box and the other in a different one. I'm twenty six and never in my life have i seen that before i'm a little freaked out. I usually think their's different signs that tells us was coming a head, do you think this means anything?

OMG! The same thing happened to me a few days ago! So gross huh? I threw them out, I dont' want to eat mutated eggs or anything. I haven't seen it before either and neither has anyone I've told.

It's not really normal, but it's not the most uncommon thing either. Finding three in a row, though - that's weird.
It does happen occasionally, the same way human females will sometimes "accidentally" release two eggs. It's natural - it just doesn't happen often.
If it is a sign of the future, which I'm inclined to doubt, it's probably a good sign. Eggs are a symbol of life - it could be a sign of coming life, or of two lives joining/meeting. Maybe you or someone you know will have twins? Or maybe it means you're going to meet someone that will be important to your life/future. If it is a sign at all, whatever will happen would have happened even if you hadn't found the eggs.
On another note - the double eggs like that are completely safe to eat. I know this from experience.

Don't be freaked out. It happens sometimes. I've seen it several times, and like you, it tends to be a few of them in the same carton that are double yolked.
And as far as the eating twins thing goes, no need to worry about that either. The eggs you buy in a store haven't been fertilized. Besides, many a chicken will eat her own eggs, if they aren't collected fast enough. So, if the mama chicken can eat 'em, I think you'll be okay.

I found this on Google, thought it was interesting! I have only seen one "double-yoker", but it was really kinda neat!
Three to five percent of eggs have double yolks. Double yolk eggs usually have smaller yokes in a bigger size egg. Double yoke eggs are often laid by heavier hens, or hens that have been overfed at the beginning of their laying cycle or very young inexperienced hens. The record for number of yokes in one egg is a whopping 9. Eggs are graded AA, A or B and come sized as jumbo, extra large, large, medium, small or peewee.

Double-yolkers occur when ovulation happens too rapidly, or when a yolk gets lost and is joined by the next one in line. They’re most often laid by pullets just beginning to synchronize their laying pattern, and some heavy-breed hens carry this tendency as an inherited trait. Rarely, an egg contains more than two yolks the world record is nine yolks in one egg.

No. It is not normal to see two yolks in one egg. I've been cooking since I was 9 and I've only seen that once. To see 2 of those in one box of eggs is quite amazing. It has nothing to do with signs or what's ahead of your life. It doesn't mean anything. It's just something that you were fortunate to see; one of those things in life that makes you say "Wow."

It doesn't happen that often, but not to worry, the eggs are still just fine for eating, and no, it doesn't mean something or have an omen of sorts saying something is about to happen, that's plain old superstition.

Yeah it's normal. They were just meant to be twins. :)
