Hold up, is kelli linnea's twin?

Dude, we have posted many photos of ourselves. Yes, we are identical twins. I'm Somebody nice. We were part of a longitudinal (14-year) twin study, and the researchers thought we were probably the "type III" twin. One egg splits and is then fertilized, so we share 75% of the same DNA. Normal siblings or fraternal twins share 50%, and identical twins share 100%.

We look really similar, but if you met us IRL you'd have no trouble telling us apart.

Our cats will drink beer - I've always kept this from happening, but it is clear that they want it, as they try to taste it and will lick up spills.  But alcohol is poisonous to them, so I won't let them have it.

I had both a cat and dog growing up who loved beer.  My mom thought it was a hoot to get our cat mildly drunk.  I always thought this was questionable.

Also, our neighbour had an ornamental cherry tree and the robins would totally get drunk and rowdy off the fermented berries, stagger around our shared drive way, brawl and occasionally drunkenly fly into our window, or just pass out where ever.  It was a pretty common thing to find drunk, unconscious birds in our flower bed.  They never seems to take much interest in the berries until they fermented though.

Many animals can smell the ethanol content and interpret it as a sign of ripened fruit.  I read an article on this just yesterday, but now cannot find it.  A new theory is that the ability to smell ethanol and beat competetors to good fruit was an evolutionary step that has led to humankind's predisposition to alcoholism.

I think I saw the same article.  Methanol, ethanol and isopropanol are three alcohols I have in my lab.  I can easily distinguish them by smell, and the ethanol definitely smells "sweet" to me.

my ex's cat had some Problems due to drinking alcohol early in life.

You know, I'm glad that you and I are imaginary internet friends, because if you love this sort of thing when you are your age, byt the time you are my age you are basically going to be in control of the planet.

When I was your age I basically loved bong hits, football, and Thin Lizzy. It is just now occuring to me that substituting alcohol for bong hits in that life plan may not be enough to be considered obtaining maturity.

I dunno, it didn't exactly work out that way for me... nerdy interests instead of bong hits are not quite enough to lead to world dominance by themselves.

I want to break this to you as gently as I possibly can, because I love you so much . . . it may have been the rodents that held you back.

Simple question about a fun beer game, next thing you know were talking about longitudinal twins (kelli is dating some dork, btw), and birds with hangovers. This thread is an example about why I love all of you.

Also, Im trying to switch from A-B to Boston Beer  Company (Sam Adams).
