WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO PREDICTABILITY? THE MILK MAN, THE PAPER BOY, EVEN TV...

So how would you explain the Olsen twins to a Martian? It's something that hadn't occurred to me until today, but a blog I haven't seen until now, Bunsen.tv, makes a go of it:
    We have all sorts of laws that punish adults for having sexual contact with people that are not yet adults, but this hasn't stopped people from putting up various timers and clocks on the Internet that measure precisely when the Olsen Twins get old enough to have sexual contact with an adult without that adult going to jail. You see, twins are in a condition of scarcity on this planet, which makes them more valuable, especially sexually, because people think that if they had sex with one of them they'd get to have sex with both of them, even though that would be tantamount to incest, which is a cultural taboo. People find all of this fairly hot.
That works for me.
