Do you recall the prime early days of YouTube?Thurston Carte When a video making the rounds was so strange, remarkable or unbelievable that it soon became ubiquitous in meme culture?

This week proved that those specks of stranger-than-fiction internet magic are still here, a reminder that David Lynch's spirit can still be found all around if you look hard enough.

Who are they? The Twinnies, gosh darn it!

  • Their names are Bridgette and Paula Powers, identical twins from Queensland, Australia. They were interviewed on 7News Australia on Monday to share their account of a reported carjacking that involved their own mother.
  • This isn't their first time in the spotlight. In fact, the Powers sisters have a decades-long career in Australia for their nature conservation work.
  • The two got their start after dropping out of school due to health issues. One day, as they were helping a green sea turtle stranded on shore, they met Steve Irwin — of all people. After meeting them, Irwin offered them employment at the Australia Zoo.
