 Apologies to SPY magazine, who cracked up a whole lot of people back in the day with their "Separated at Birth" items, and even collected them in a couple of books. (Here's one here -- and if you're interested, check out the incredible history/anthology, SPY The Funny Years. Note: any similarity between Buddhism and just about anything in SPY is almost certainly purely coincidental.) Further apologies if anyone is at all offended by any of this. It's just silliness. But then, Buddhists are known for their sense of humor.
Right?
