Silly curiosity question

[Mel Fulks]

I read that the wives of identical twins sometimes make them get distinguishing tattoos

I remember Alain Vigneault, former coach of the Vancouver Canucks admitted even after coaching the Sedin twins for several years he couldn't tell them apart.

He just held out their jerseys at the top of the stairs - and da boyz sorted it out.

There are two subjects in this thread that I have personal experience with - 1.) parental DNA chain 2.) identical twins

My brother and I are married to two sisters. He is two years older than me - our wives are two years apart (although reversed).

(Side note: We both have identical BS Aero E degrees from the same university. Our Masters degrees are also from the same university but in different fields. We both retired from the same company. We lived 4 miles apart - belonged to the same swim club and tennis club. We each have a son and a daughter. His are two years older than mine. The list goes on - my late mother would go through the whole list when talking to friends and would finish it with "They still don't get along with each other...")

Our sons do not look at all alike. They do, however, have similar interests and consider each other "best friends".

Our daughters also do not look alike. Their relationship would be best described as cordial.


My son and daughter-in-law have blessed us with three grandsons. The eldest is 8 years old, the other two are 5 1/2 year old twins. DNA testing has confirmed that the twins are identical.

I am a "converted" lefty; my daughter and daughter-in law are left-handed as well. All other parents/grandparents are right-handed.

All three boys are right-handed. The twins part their hair on the same side. (Sorry, Dave - no fingerprint data on the twins.)

And no, I can't tell the twins apart. The longer hair makes it even more difficult.

<<--Left twin's right eyebrow seems to have more of a sharp (^) arc to it, while
-->> Right twin's right eyebrow seems to have more of smooth (͡ ) arc...

-but that could just be due to how they're smiling
