Concerning the question about identical twins, I have a first cousin who is my
physical double.  We look exactly alike, allowing for the fact that she is
about ten years older than I.  We even have the same voice and mannerisms, even
though we haven't seen each other in nearly twenty years.  (She lives on the
other side of the country.)  Evidently we look so much alike that her sister
(whom I saw a couple of years ago) is so uncomfortable about it that she
wouldn't even stay in the same room with me.  Which I thought was pretty silly
but she seemed to think it was too wierd to stand.  My own sister looks
NOTHING like me..... 
My cousin's father is my mother's brother.  And there is about 14 years
difference in their age.
