But none of his sons are identical twins, right? There’s at least some documentation that two people with the same name are different people (also are the Jr, III, IV, etc. legally part of each of their names? Then they technically would have different names), based on physical appearance.
If an identical twin with the exact same name as their twin is charged with a crime, how would you even know if you had the right person? The person charged has the name AND exact likeness as someone else.
Is this the plot of an SVU episode?
The story might be apocryphal, but I heard a story of a lady who did the Horizontal Hokey Pokey with identical(male) twins and got pregnant. They were unable to determine who, specifically, was the father.
There was a Law & Order where identical twins killed a guy. They went to a movie together, did all kinds of stuff to be seen and recognized at the movie theater. One stayed and watched the movie while the other one walked out, killed the guy (carefully leaving DNA at the scene so law enforcement would know it was one of the twins) and came back to the movie theater.
No way to know which twin did it. It was the perfect crime. They got off.
Yeah, but, couldn’t they both be charged with conspiracy? It seems pretty obvious that they planned it together.
According to family lore, one of Mrs G’s ancestors was an identical twin whose twin brother was tried for murder. The witness couldn’t distinguish between the twins in court, so his twin was acquitted. Haven’t checked on the validity of the story.
Should I have ice cream with Milo?
I don’t know if the TV episode addressed that. I think in the end no one was all that sorry the guy was dead.
But I suppose each twin could claim he was just there to see the movie and he had no idea that his brother was going to go kill the guy. I’m not sure you could prove conspiracy.
The “making sure people noticed them” was like… wearing the same outfit, asking questions, buying popcorn, that sort of thing. Nothing that would prove conspiracy to commit murder.
From a vogue article that popped up on my phone as an ad for a game I’m playing…
Is there a better feeling than freshly washed hair. Probably not.
I can think of at least one…
Seems to be a better candidate for the mocking grammar thread.
Ending an interrogative with a period?
I still haven’t eaten one. This article made me think of this post.
From the article:
NFL teams go through anywhere from 3,600 to 4,300 Uncrustables a week. When you factor in training camps and the teams that did not share their data, NFL teams easily go through at least 80,000 Uncrustables a year.
Wait, NFL players eat how many Uncrustables? - The Athletic?
They’re not bad. Bread that is frozen at peak freshness isn’t terrible. It’s better than week old bread but not as good as fresh homemade or anything.
Their primary appeal is that they are conveniently packaged so when, at 4 minutes before you both have to leave for her to catch the school bus, your kid reminds you that there’s a field trip today and she needs to pack a lunch… they are easy to toss into a paper sack.
Toss in at 8am frozen . . . just about right when consumed at around noon; but still pretty good at 3pm for an afternoon snack.
I like them. I prefer eating them frozen, right out of the freezer.
They are nice to have when you are just a little hungry and you don’t want to do any work to have a little food.
Costco sells them (grape jelly only)
Costco also sells a different brand/complete copycat except strawberry jelly and the box is a couple of extra bucks.
I’m a baller. I buy both.
Have you ever been a victim of a porch pirate?
I do not like the non-Uncrustables brand at Costco. The bread seems stale. Uncrustables bread is fine when properly thawed.
I honestly don’t recall. It’s not a significant problem in my neighborhood, certainly.
And my previous home (before this neighborhood) had a locked mailroom so it was not really possible there.
Maybe before that?
I did one time believe that I was the victim of porch piracy. Mini Me was a newborn. STBX was on a work trip. I was exhausted and out of diapers and anxiously awaiting the box of 72 newborn size diapers I’d ordered. I’d raided the diaper bag and my emergency stash in the car and Amazon texted me that they’d been delivered.
It was POURING rain out and the diapers were nowhere to be found. I angrily called and complained. They agreed to overnight me another box of diapers.
Then maybe 30 minutes later for no reason whatsoever I was looking out the window at my yard and noticed the mailbox (on the street) looked funny.
I went out to investigate (worried the mail may be getting ruined… it was raining HARD) and precariously balanced on the top of the mailbox was the box of diapers!!!
The other box came the next morning and as luck would have it Mini Me finished up with newborn size diapers right when the waterlogged box was finished. The extraneous second box of diapers ended up going to the relief effort for whatever horrible natural disaster happened when Mini Me was in the final throes of newborn-size diapers.
Never been the victim of package theft but I’ve certainly had my packages delivered to the wrong house and had to go track them down.
Same. Also occasionally had a package that was claimed to be delivered but wasn’t, and showed up a day or 2 later. I assume the driver may be gaming performance metrics.
Packages on the porch, no.
Mail in the mailbox, yes.
