Stop taking your brother out for AIDS-or-Alzheimers tests.

Six block away isn't exactly lost, is it?

But does he know where his dentures are?

Is there a graveyard six blocks from his house?

/BA DUM, CHING!

He only made it six blocks? Well, I suppose they can't walk very fast.

One brother was put up for adoption 80 years prior. They never knew the other existed. In an extra spin on things they had actually met before because one of the brothers was on the board of directors at a museum where the other one's wife worked. How eerie is that?

Pretty sappy story. Good read

Kinda funny how 3 of their mother's kids turned out to be lawyers. Guess the douchebag gene runs in the family

That is a touching story. I hope live long enough to be great friends. Sounds like they have some of the same interests.

And thanks to Alzheimers tomorrow he gets to find him all over again.

No reports on whether or not this guy was able to find his way back to his own house.

Did he give a happy ending?

There's one or two of these a year

I think the CIA separate them at birth an ensure they reconnenct to make America go "AWWWWWWWW" and forget about whatever crisis has befallen our nation.

That would be like Kramer meeting Cosmo.

I am starting to wonder if there is some kinda Lawyer Gene.


Great story.

My grandfather lost all his siblings after his mother passed away. He was the oldest (13 or 14) of seven kids and he was on his own and the younger kids were all put up for adoption. After returning from World War I, he was able to track down most of them, but didn't find Charlie until the 1970's some fifty years after he last saw him.
