Separated at birth, usually phrased as a question, is a light-hearted media device for pointing out people who are unrelated but bear a notable facial resemblance. The title "Separated at Birth?" was a trademark of Spy Publishing Partners, the publishers of the now defunct Spy Magazine, a monthly publication that published satire, humor, and investigative journalism from 1986 to 1998. The magazine would pair two carefully selected photos of two unrelated famous persons and the juxtaposition would highlight their physical similarities to humorous effect.
Originally a biologist (well, I guess I still am) I now work in computing. More importantly, I am a Christian and a church leader - yep one of those loopy, hands in the air, charismatic types.
As I am also a worship leader, someone once commented that I am able to argue all by myself over how long the worship times or sermon should be as well as debating creation and evolution.
I believe passionately that Christians should be more engaged in the culture they live in - which partly explains this blog. The other part of the explanation is probably to do with my ego, so I would rather not dwell on it.
The MrTinkles identity comes from one of my other passions...gaming. MrTinkles is the name I often use in on-line games. I always thought it would really annoy people when they were fragged by someone named after a white fluffy cat!
