Also, I can't look now, but did anyone say that Rabbi Akiva was bald? DH just asked the kids who was the father of Rabbi Yehoshua Ben Korcha and the answer was Rabbi Akiva, known by that nickname because he was bald (and also needed an alias to hide from the Romans)

Well besides Yaakov and Eisav, Peretz and Zerach.
All the shvatim born with a twin sister (except I think Yosef, and Binyomin was born a triplet).
Are Kayin and Hevel twins or do they each have a twin sister. (I know the Medrash says something)

I think they we’re born separately with a twin sister

I also remember learning that according to done Efraim and menashe are twins, though I might remember wrong.

Correct about Yitzchok.
I wasn't thinking of Dina. Do you have a source for that?
