My birthday is June 7. I share my birthday with _Prince_.

I’d be far more honoured to share it with a Doper!

Dang; off by four years.

So any October 6, 1966 (cue theme from _The Omen_) out there?

[QUOTE=thirdwarning]  
Oh, well, anybody want to match up Nov. 26, 1955?QUOTE]Hey, isn’t that the date when Doc hit his head and came up with the idea of a Flux Capacitor that makes time travel possible?  
I think **swampbear** and I qualify as twins. If I recall correctly:  
We were both born on July 29th  
We both have “bear” in our names /obvious  
We’re both stunningly handsome /obvious

He’s EXACTLY 25 years older than me. When he was 50, I was 25 and when I’m 50, he’ll be 100. So he’s, like, my “double-twin” or something.

My math sucks. Did I just get whooshed, or is it too late for me to be up doing math? If he’s 25 years older, when you’re 50, wouldn’t he be 75? Or is he aging at a much faster rate than most of us?

I’m getting all warm and fuzzy here seeing some of these birth years. But the closest to a twin so far is **Hal** (Feb 7, 1968). I’m Feb 8, 1959. So just 1 day and 11 years difference. I’m sure there’s something mystical in the three 1’s.  
Happy Birthday **Biffy** and **Bumbazine**.
