The whole mirror and daylight thing is a cover myth. Don’t ask me how I know...

I'm glad Cage had an ear-job, though, before re-emerging from the coffin in today's modern America.

The likeness is uncanny.

I wonder if that was Cage’s great great grandfather? Sometimes a person can bear an uncanny resemblance to their ancestors.

You know, genetics are a weird thing. I do a lot of traveling on business, and I have seen people in different cites and communities who are almost carbon copies of certain friends, family members, and colleagues.

Once while at Penn Station in NYC, I saw a girl who looked EXACTLY like one my my co-workers at our office. I actually walked up to her and was going to ask her what she was doing in NYC before I suddenly realized that it was a different gal.

Eerie...

Okay, Nic, it’s time for past life regression under hypnosis. A few sessions ought to do it.

I doubt that the old Civil War-era photograph depicted represents his great, great grandfather.

Cage's real name is Nicolas Kim Coppola. He's of Italian and German immigrant forbearers in the great, great category.

His uncle is director Frances Ford Coppola and he is nephew to actress Talia Shire of "Rocky" fame.

Now if one of his ancestors were from Transylvania, one might reconsider his lineage......

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. First, he doesn’t look that much like Nicholas Cage. Similar, yes. But not exactly. Secondly, I like to dig around old photos when I go to antique stores and I have found several pictures of women who looked like me. I bought them because I think it’s cool and creepy at the same time. Finally, everyone knows we all have a doppelganger or two in the present—why wouldn’t we have several from the past?

My brother looked exactly like our great grandfather at the same age. We pointed to the picture and asked his daughter, “Who’s that?” and she said, “That’s Daddy.”

It would certainly explain a lot.

Well, there is a slight possibility that they could be distant relatives since there was a small Italian population in the Bristol, Tennessee area during the Civil War period who moved there to work in the nearby coal mines.

The picture is from 1870.

Lincoln was lovingly escorted, (several years earlier), to the other world by a peace loving non-ghoul who was a little miffed that the South lost a war that the South had started. In a non ghoulish way of course.

That picture is photoshopped. The face is looking straight on and the head to the right.

I was in a restaurant a few years ago and saw a woman that looked exactly like my sister. I did a quadruple take and tried to stare at her without her noticing, it took me a while to figure out that wasn’t my sister.

Complete stranger though.....
