trivia: From the beginning in 1998, Celebrity Goo Game had a tradition that each goo was a single individual, never multiple people. This rule was first relaxed at GooCon: Champions Gate in 2010, when a "Double Trouble" theme brought twins into the game. (The Olsen twins were the only pair re-used in this theme on this site.) After several more multiple-person themes at GooCon, the rule was finally broken on the site with this goo, the 2343rd in game history and first with multiple people.

Double Trouble: Most celebrities have non-famous siblings, but twins who achieve fame in the same field are especially rare. Have twice the fun this week guessing these five pairs of famous twins. Both names are required for your guess to be correct.

Literature

While working late upon a goo, I tried to write an eerie clue referring to a falling house, but then I heard a tiny mouse, or so I told my beating heart as not to have it break apart, afraid that just a little breath would bring upon a crimson death from that which tapped inside my room where I now feared a certain doom, so scary were those growing knocks I felt quite trapped inside a box beneath the earth outside my door, where I was sure forevermore my murder would remain unsolved, unless the open case revolved around a single stolen note I somehow found the time and wrote, to warn about the urgent noise that kept me from my website toys, but then I realized like a fool that what had made me lose my cool was just my fingers spelling out this clue to tell you all about a Boston poet, tried and true, whose tangled rhymes became a goo, and just in time to set the scene for scary goos this Halloween.
