eye, the wandering artist and hmmm, the deaf-mute painter were brothers and even before being brothers they were two babes in the same womb, and even before being two babes in the same womb they were one ovum, one single ovum egg,  existing momentarily in time before being fertilized by one sperm and dividing into two separate embryos, known affectionately as monozygotic twins. what is not known about them, even amongst themselves is that they share an identical trait, an indistinguishable trait, a 100% piece of interchangeable physicality, something that has never before in the history of human births been measured, never been recognized, never, ever occurred either before or since their earthly arrival:

identical finger prints
