Yes, in the TV show The Office, Dwight Schrute famously claimed he absorbed his twin in the womb, stating he "resorbed the other fetus" and that "his tissues has made me stronger," a classic example of his unique and often bizarre worldview, as seen in the episode "Grief Counseling". This phenomenon is known in real life as vanishing twin syndrome, but Dwight presents it as a literal source of his unique strength.
Dwight Schrute, in his quest to confirm Phillip's paternity, stole Phillip's diaper for a DNA test. The initial lab results denied Dwight's paternity. However, Angela later confessed to falsifying the DNA test results, affirming that Dwight was indeed Phillip's father.

In "Drug Testing", Dwight states that he likes his co-workers "with four exceptions", leaving it up to the audience to make educated guesses about who these four exceptions are. The four are most likely Jim Halpert, Ryan Howard, Meredith Palmer, and Toby Flenderson, due to Michael's hatred of him.

Chimerism occurs when a woman is pregnant with twins and one embryo dies, and the other embryo absorbs the twin's cells. (Scientifically speaking, this type of chimerism is called tetragametic because the baby was derived from four gametes – one egg and one sperm for each embryo.)
If this event happens in the first trimester of the pregnancy, the surviving twin will most likely develop without further consequences. However, if the fetal death occurs after mid gestation (17 weeks' gestation) there is an associated increased risk of preterm labor, IUGR, preeclampsia, and perinatal mortality [5,8].
