Thanks for the Research

From hockey fan Captain Salamander on Gabby’s Gobbledygook, complete text of his blog post today:

Separated at Birth?

You know those side by side photos of celebrities and regular folk who look remarkably alike? Well here’s one of two hockey players who must be identical twins.

Daniel Sedin of the Vancouver Canucks and Henrik Sedin of the Vancouver Canucks.

Those ESPN links were included by the Captain to further illustrate the spooky similarities that lead to this breakthrough realization of his.

I only wish I could have been there for the final epiphanies. Probably went something like: “Hold on—they even have the same birthdays. I’m starting to see a pattern developing!”

Awesome.

This had to have been a joke.  On the homepage there’s an identical post about Kolzig and Sean O’Donnel looking alike.

Or maybe the jokes on me b/c everybody knows it was a joke.

If so, let me know and I’ll feel the appopriate levels of shame. wink

You’re an Avs fan, Shane. I think it goes without saying that you’re shameless!

As for it being a joke, I suppose it must be.  But I find it more amusing to consider the possibility that some dumbfounded genetics researcher wrote that post, while pondering the enormous coincidence of it all. smile
