      Hiya Maddiee! Well I’m not sure if it is true but I’ve certainly met dopplegangers of my friends! I guess at some point we will just run out of combinations of DNA or something, and we’ll all eventually look the same! I wonder though if our twin might look the same but have a very different personality?
      I’m not a biologist though so I’m not too sure. I don’t think my mum would want an identical double Sheila hanging about annoying her though 😀

      I haven’t heard this one before, but as chance has it: I do have an identical double!
      I’m an identical twin. My sister is a historian and rock star, just in case you were interested. She’s currently on tour in LA with her band “Matt Sonic & The High Times”, she plays Bass, Guitar & sings backing vocals.

      That’s weird – I saw someone on the London underground who looked REALLY like my friend! I don’t think it’s true, because your DNA and your entire body is unique – there are so many parts and bits to it that it would be almost impossible to duplicate. I know some identical twins, and even they are different in appearances and personality!

      Not as far as I know. Have you been watching Fringe? 🙂
