OMG

I just read the headline again, and realized that it wasn't good enough just to have the FBI catch the Bat Boy, but that he was stranded on a roof during a Mississippi flood. Absolutely hilarious. Got to admit, it would be a blast working at one of those tabloids in a brainstorming session for that week's cover story.

Jimmy Hoffa might have been waiting in the car for them.

They are not twins.

Donny was born in 1957 and Marie was born in 1959 why don't you go check IMDB

Although they're correct in this case, IMDb isn't exactly the most reliable source either.

Dead or Alive is a pretty good source.

Yeah, I don't know who these "multiple" sources are or where they're getting their information from, but there are NO twins in the Osmond or Jackson families.

Ireneparalegal · 01-10-2008, 05:31 PM

With so much information on the internet, how can anyone not check it to find out if they are twins?

I grew up in the 70's, so I knew immediately they were not twins, but if there is something I am not sure of I check the internet and double check by looking at other sources.

Exactly. Frankly, it drives me crazy to get those million times forwarded "WARNINGS" or stories of missing kids, etc. sent to me. The first thing I do is to check Snopes.com and then usually embarrass the person ('course, they've already embarrassed themselves by forwarding junk) by replying to all to advise that it's just another hoax. Then I paste the info from snopes or the link.

It's like nobody's ever heard of Google!
