Anonymous Coward User ID: 106075 Canada 07/13/2006 03:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Doppleganger) Jump to: navigation, search A doppelgänger (pronunciation (help·info)) is the ghostly double of a living person. The word doppelgänger is a loanword from German, written there (as any noun) with an initial capital letter Doppelgänger, composed from doppel, meaning "double", and gänger, literally as "goer" (though in this context, the meaning is closer to "walker"). In English, the word is conventionally not capitalized, and it is also common to drop the German diacritic umlaut on the letter "a" and write "doppelganger", although the correct spelling without umlaut is "doppelgaenger". The term has, in the vernacular, come to refer to any double or look-alike of a person, most commonly in reference to a so-called evil twin, or to bilocation. 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. |

Quoting: SUPER STRUCTUREBut there are 2 different types of phones from the library...one is the pay phone for the public and the other is for business...the library phones. It was a pay phone that was used at the library so I doubt the library would know about it. |

Some guy (OP) User ID: 116253 United States 07/13/2006 04:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is it the downtown library where all the bums hang out? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 108254No it's not. It's actually right across the street from a police station and a fire-fighting station. It's in Alexandria VA...the library is huge. You're allowed to check out 54 books per person. Even if it was a bum library I don't know how a bum much less anyone else would've got my number. |
