Tonight my mom calls me from our house in Houston and tells me that she saw me on the local news walking by a news camera for a news story on the UT campus. She told me that I was wearing a green shirt and my green shoes, which is what I wore to school today. I remember walking past the camera today at around noon thinking I had avoided being on camera. But then she tells me it was on the early morning news. But I didnt wake up until 9? and I had worn a red shirt all day the day before and had not walked past the tower either yesterday like she said I was during the the story. The story was recent so it could not have been filmed last week. My dad also swears he saw it on the morning news as welland that it was definately me. Probibly a logical explanation (coincidence or color blindness perhaps) but it does make a good doppleganger/Donny Darko type story. Its kind of freaky.

I have an identical twin. We are not related, and I have never met him. But friends, co-workers and family have seen him around.
A co-worker actually went up and started talking to him, thinking he was me. It wasn’t untilhe spoke that she realized it wasn’t. Sadly, HE got the deep voice!
Family members have seen driving. My step father tryed to get his attention while driving another car. he called me later and asked me why I didn’t acknowledge him and why I was driving a different car.
At my bank, a teller asked me why I was coming in 2 days in a row. This was the first time I had been in the bank in months. The fucker banks where I bank!!!

**spooje** , you’d better incorporate a password system with any significant others - to prevent this guy gettin’ any action that he shouldn’t be gettin’ 😉

My wife came home from the store the other day insisting she saw my twin there.
She said he even squinted his left eye like I do.
