This is Spirit Week. The school is divided into Green and White Teams that are "competing" in a variety of bizarre contests for points. This will culminate with a bonfire pep rally this weekend, the football team's playoff game against KUA, the drama production of The Laramie Project, the chorus performance and the PAPA-sponsored Brain Break, which has a '50s sock hop theme. Today is "twins day," as members of the Green and White populations paired off and are wearing similar stuff. At first glance, you might miss all this:

On closer examination, however, the similarities reveal themselves.

The history of twins studies goes back over 2000 years, long before the genotypes of identical siblings was understood to be the same, leaving environmental factors and experiences as remaining variables to explain similarities. Sometimes these similarities are subtle, as with these triplet divas in the English Office.

"By examining the degree to which twins (especially twins raised apart) are differentiated, a study may determine the extent to which a particular trait is influenced by genes or the environment." (Wiki)

The Green Team was declared winners this morning, after a highly unscientific analysis was completed by judges whose impartiality is undetermined, despite this stunning pair from Team White:
