People I beg you please NEVER make a chart or graph where you the only way to tell you plots apart is by color. Particularly if the colors you choose are blue and purple. When you do this the chart is completely useless for me, and for at least a few other people.
I also have another plea for you. Should you have a set of twins don't name them with rhyming names. When you find out someone has a twin, don't quiz them about it. Here is why. When you ask questions like;
What is it like to be a twin? Do you know what runs through their mind? Murderous thought, thoughts about gutting you, and leaving your remains to rot on the roof. Or how about another favorite.
Do you and your brother get along? While this one does not bring the desire to beat the questioner to death nearly as quickly as the first, the desire still arrives just a little slower. What kind of response is it you are expecting? Perhaps a well I hit him with a baseball bat every time I see him, but other than we get along just fine. Would you ask this question to someone who has sibling a year or two older? And then there is the one that everyone always asks.
Can you read your brothers mind, or do you have ESP? I am of the opinion that you should be shot just for thinking the question.
Manners raise you up out of the cesspool of fast-breeding jerks that have taken over the world. They as cost absolutely nothing. I am not talking about, only using the salad fork for the salad or another BS like that but simple things like saying excuse me, instead of just shoving past me. Things like not interrupting what we are doing to answer you cell phone, your not the freaking pope, the president is not about to call you up and ask your opinion about a bill, unless your wife is about to have a child answering your cell phone is not the most important thing in the world.

My younger brother and I are 20 months apart, and I get asked whether or not we get/got along quite frequently.

I used to bristle a lot about people making presumptions about my race. Finally I decided it wasn't worthwhile being upset all the time. All the sudden, it seems to happen less. Or maybe I don't care as much.
I used to think that everyone who drove a Toyota or a Honda was an inconsiderate jerk, and I saw them everywhere. I decided to get over it and now they don't bother me.
The more you let something bug you the more it will consume your life.

My brother was born on my second birthday. I tell people we share a birthday but we're two years apart, and they get this puzzled look on their face. "Are you twins?"
A lady I know here in town just had twin girls. She named them - are you ready? - Cara and C'ara, C'ara being pronounced like "Sierra." I can't handle it.

I think luthe means twins with names like Garret and Gavin or Alex and Alexis. Names that are really close.
