  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.
