MORE SETS OF TWINS, SEPARATED AT BIRTH

1/24/2014

On Friday – what else does one do in the grip of winter? – I posted photos of three sets of twins, separated at birth.

Then Peter Wilson sent in a link suggesting Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus are the same person.

Okay.

Saturday morning, one of the guests on "Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!" said he had a hard time telling Bieber and Hillary Swank apart.

Umm, I don’t think so.

Below, are the three original sets of twins.

I'm just saying.

Dear George, This posting reminds me of another portrait of some people with look alike expressions--and a dog. Nothing offensive.

Congrats to Alex & family. Must be proud of brother Cris for winning Ballon d'Or. However, there is a messi controversy and may be scientific evidence of conspiracy rivaling that about Alex played out in press and court here in the USA!

The figure of Justin in the background on p. 1 of yesterday's Times can be read into some commentary about our sporting culture here Stateside.

So, without further ado, let's look back across the Pond this afternoon at the Merseyside Derby: Timmy at Teeth!

“They may hate the cultural context they now find themselves teaching in, but they love their work. The Achilles’ heel of schoolteachers, one all too easily exploited by politicians, is that they love their students.”
(One of the best reads in the NYT these days is Margaret Renkl, in Nashville. In her latest post, Renkl describes the dedicated core of “born teachers” – the majority, she submits.)
