In 1992 two brothers from a set of triplets fooled prison authorities in Russia when a kind brotherly act backfired. One of the brothers, Roman, swapped places with his twin, Ruslan, to give him a brief taste of freedom. But once outside, Ruslan showed no intention of goingback in, and ran off with his brother's girlfriend.

Joseph French — the toast of the brunch circuit
Did you know French Toast isn't from France ... The delicious, fried eggy bread with syrup known as French toast isn't French at all. Sacre bleu! In fact, the recipe is so old that it's been eaten since before France existed. Ancient Romans living in the early fifth century ate what we call French toast regularly. Their recipe required soaking bread in milk and then frying it in butter or oil, pretty much the same way it's still cooked today. According to legend, the modern twist to the recipe was added by an innkeeper in Albany, New York, named Joseph French. He began making French toast in 1724 for customers, and the dish quickly caught on. The version of French toast eaten today isn't named for the country but for Joseph French — though, admittedly, the name is pretty confusing. (Source: Via Listverse.com)
