After Darryl R. Peebles, and to a certain wacky extent, Tim Phelan, too (Tim Phelan the author further clarified his identity in this blog post), we have this pair of Eileen McLaughlins.

Born on the same day a few miles apart in Brooklyn, discovered each other last week - and learned that not only do their dads and kids also share birthdays, but they have led eerily similar lives from Day One, right down to their profession, choice of husband and penchant for a particular TV psychic.

“It’s mind-boggling that Eileen Mary’s life has so closely paralleled mine,” Eileen Teresa McLaughlin said. “I called my mother and asked her, ‘Are you sure I don’t have a twin?’ ”

Yesterday, they met for the first time - at the Kings Plaza Diner, a place both women favored as kids when they shopped - separately, of course - at the popular Kings Plaza Mall.
