Unfortunately not. The Republic of Taco Bell is going to send a mass of tiny ankle-biting dogs to destroy your precious sub. Sorry. ):

maybe alike, but not identical, if that's what you're wondering. there's way too many gene combinations for that to happen. that's why the only time you get identical twins is from a split embryo; both clumps of cells have identical chromosomes. i don't think it's possible for that to occur any other way

Nope. Meiosis, crossing over, and possibly mutations will cause the children to be different.

depending on the effects of relativity and who is eating the sandwich, yes, but more importantly, if I were in a hypothetical situation, would I know it or would I have to act like I exist outside of someone's hypothetical question?

Cat will land down.

Two toast? Buttered side up and down...that is you have butter in your hair.

They'll tumble a bit as they fall. But you'll notice something odd as the closer they get to the ground, the slower they move. Eventually, they will stop at about 3" of the floor and spin madly, increasing in speed, until BANG!

It all depends on what way you tape the toast on and whether you tape it to the back or the feet...

Cat with toast on back and butter down = feet down
Cat with toast on feet and butter down = butter down

Obviously

Cat with butter up on back? may not land at all.. Hover or spin...

Cat with butter up on feet Cat will slip off taost and land on feet but slip right away toast will land butter down of course ..

unless its a really hairy cat and the butter got soaked up..
