And I thought the twins my dad went to school with were bad - Syphillis
(pronounced sih-FIL-us) and Gonorrhea (pronounced guh-NOHR-ee-uh)!
Meredith, who also knew of a set of twins named Orangejello and Lemonjello
pronounced like the pair we read about before. Hoo-boy... some people.
Once again, I go off topic, but I had some serious difficulty last semester when I taught a pair of twins named Mark and Marcus. Sheesh! even if they hadn't been identical, I still would have gotten such similar names mixed up.
