Would you want to have an identical twin?
 

Not necessarily an evil twin or anything. Just an identical one.

Advantages:

1. Built-in pal of the same age throughout life.
2. You can see how clothing looks on you without a mirror.
3. You can score with each others' wives on moonless nights.
4. Easy to confuse authority figures seeking to blame you for offenses ranging from truancy to murder.
5. Easy to build your own nature vs. nurture experiments.
6. Possible secret language.

Disadvantages:

1. Generally creepy to know that there's another one of you running around.
2. 1/3 of time - called by right name, 1/3 of time - called by wrong name, 1/3 of time - called "the twins".
3. Probably get shafted on birthdays.
4. Possibly harder to get top secret clearances.
5. Possible frameups for murder if twin is indeed evil.
6. Probable splitting of the vote for "Most likely to succeed", "Best looking", "Most studious", etc., in high school.

I killed mine in the womb.

Good thinking.

Technically would that be an abortion?

Yes. If the anti-abortionists had caught you, they would have killed you in the womb.

No, but I would like to have a robot that looked and acted like me(maybe not exactly like me, that could be bad in some situations), that I could have stand in on things that I don't feel like doing.

i would. i think if i had an identical twin i could kick his ass. this would work ot great. nothing could possibly go wrong

I killed your twin in the womb, too.

I see he inflicted brain damage on you.

Who?

you babykiller :mad:

You don't want two of me around. No-one would know there were two of me. One would always be somewhere obvious to set up the alibi while the other carried out our nefarious plans.

Fetus killer, maybe, but I prefer "abortion specialist".

Wow, this thread started out about the pros and cons of having a twin. But now, it's just about baby murder and various abortion techniques.

How cool.
