Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My brother and I are very different looking but our mannerisms and speech patterns are so ridic similar that most people comment on how alike we are when they meet us.
Very very true.
I think my Italian/Swedish thing was less based on looks and more of a "your accent is way too good for an Anglo-Saxon and you're tall" thing.

Heh. A friend of mine has a brother who's about 12 years younger than her. When she was a teenager out with her brother, people would give her dirty looks as they thought he was her son.
Calli - I don't think they are screwing people. Bad management? yes. Low to no bonuses? yes. Job insecurity? some.
On the other hand, people in sensitive positions are spending 30-50% of their time on building a different company, and are using company paid resources for some of the work.
