    		There's also Perez and Zerah in Genesis 38, the twins produced by Judah and his daughter-in-law, Tamar. What a family.

    		The apostle Thomas, the one called 'Didymus' must have been a twin: Thomas was not a proper name, but meant 'twin' in Aramaic, as does 'Didymus' in Greek. We do not know who his other twin was, but some ancient Gnostic Christians believed that Thomas was the twin of Jesus.
