I've heard, but never put much credit to the fact or rumor, that every person has seven look-alikes. I have seen, on several occasions, people that remind a lot of other people I know, but never anyone who I think looks like myself. Until now, that is. I only saw him briefly, passing by me in the street, and he turned around to look at me. We sized each other for a short while with our stares, and then proceeded to rush off in different directions.

I was on my way to get a burger, and wasn't dressed nearly as sharp as him, something I regret deeply. Of two doppelgängers, I want me to be the handsome one.

Anyway, I still don't believe in the seven look-alikes, but I know there's at least one now. I wonder if we think alike too, if we do the same things...

UPDATE Look what it says on wikipedia: "... Alternatively, the word is used to describe a phenomenon where you catch your own image out of the corner of your eye. In some mythologies, seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death. A doppelgänger seen by friends or relatives of a person may sometimes bring bad luck, or indicate an approaching illness or health problem."

That doesn't sound good at all.
