My wife was reading something in one of the science mags we get and they have found identical snowflakes apparently.

Weird.

I'm Bob. He's Bob. We're Bob and Bob,
A one of a kind two of a kind freak of nature.
They said they knew it couldn't be true,
But here we are a scientific breakthrough.
We're different just because we are the same.
We're flaky little snowflakes with ordinary names.
Being just alike makes us different and strange,
Identical six-sided siblings, silly scatterbrains.
I'm Bob. He's Bob. We're Bob and Bob.
We're a one of a kind two of a kind freak of nature

It's long been said no two of us
Could ever be created exacally alike.
Smart folks investigated, got up early and stayed up late
And up 'til now it looked like they were right.
We're different just because we are the same.
We're flaky little snowflakes with ordinary names.
There's never been a guy quite as handsome as my brother.
That's what I always say when we're mistaken for each other.
I'm Bob. He's Bob. We're Bob and Bob.
We're a one of a kind two of a kind freak of nature.

Did you know some people have never seen snow?
It only snows on one-third of the earth.
Did you know the record for accumulated snow
Is 454 inches on Tamarack, California way back in 1911?

When Mr. Sun comes shining through
Bob and Bob and all our friends will all turn back to water,
Make our homes in waterbeds, clean your teeth and wash your heads,
Turn us into Kool-Aid we don't care.
We're different just because we are the same.
Flaky little snowflakes with ordinary names.
Being just alike makes us different and strange,
Identical six-sided siblings, silly scatterbrains.
I'm Bob. He's Bob. We're Bob and Bob.
We're a one of a kind two of a kind freak of nature.

God makes everyone of them.


.... why do you think he's too busy to prevent massive Tsunamis that kills 150,000 people, including children.


(Leave it to me to inject some controversy) Sorry.

do you think these are real snow flakes that came out of the sky or are they man made ?

if they really are from the sky it's pretty amazing !

As someone who has grown up in (and currently resides in) the snow belt, I can attest to the fact that the flakes are quite real.

It is rather amazing, but those of us who live with snow do take their beauty for granted.

I meant capturing and photographing the "wild ones", I know they exist, I've eaten bunches of pretty ones !
