Emile Falk and Lin Backman, twins born in Semarang, Indonesia, in 1983, were separately adopted by Swedish parents, but reunited 29 years later after discovering they lived only 25 miles apart! Whoosh! What wuzzat! In 2007- a French high-speed train reached a top speed of 356 MPH! Police in Flagstaff, Ariz., USA, arrested a man for trespassing on Jan. 23, 2012, because he refused to leave his jail cell after being released for a previous charge!

I read of a case once (Australia?) where a man and woman were wanting to get married, but knew they were adopted, and wanted to get their birth certificates. When the certificates were received, they first noted they had the same birthdate, then same hospital – and same mother! They were twins that had found each other!

In the latter years, the line from Kirksville, Mo to Quincy, Il had something like a 15 mph limit! One engineer said it was one of the most boring runs he ever made. (Line now gone)
