Dang.  I thought I had worked all the bugs out of that theory.  I don't 
think they'd be twins.  If I went that route, I'd have to change a lot of 
the rest of my theory.  I guess I'll have to put further theorizing on this 
one on hold for 6 months until the new book comes out.  (IF it comes out in 
6 months!)
