  1. when the names of pop figgers go by birthday after birthday and they don’t mean a thing, ya know you’ve turned some sort of corner towards the great void. i vaguely remember the nelson twins (cute), and even more vaguely the brewer twins (also cute), but these olsens are a mystery.

  2. How about the Barber twins?
    The Van Arsdales?
    The Weasleys?

    Jill Hennessy, Ashton Kutcher, Alanis Morissette and John Elway have twins.
