In my defense - rearrange the letters just a little bit and it is "il penguin". (which as everyone knows is a term of affection for a short penguin....'awww look at the cute 'il penguin there')

I can't add anything better than an emoticon.

And since all the talk about Peredhil and penguins got my fingers itching, here's a little pic I cooked up while being tortured in my bed of pain (yeah, I know, I make a very whiny sick person  ).

A young Elrond is gazing out to the Sea, as the ships that carry his brother and the rest of the Men that followed him to Númenor sail into the West.

In the Tale of Years, for TA 130 is listed 'Birth of Elladan and Elrohir, sons of Elrond.' Note it says 'birth', not 'births.' Although Tolkien never calls them twins, I'd say that's two points of evidence. I'd also assume from the ways the names are listed, that Elladan was first-born (not eldest, though - elves count from the point of conception, which in the case of identical twins is a single event.)
I know that Tolkien also never said they were identical, but that they were 'so alike. few could tell them apart.' It's good enough to make them identical twins for me!
As has been pointed out, Tolkien never decided what happened to them, just that their 'end is not known'. Personally, I believe they stayed until Aragorn and Arwen had died, then sailed - probably with Celeborn. I'm certain they chose the same fate - can't see them being parted. But that's because I write about them so much!

Jay, are you going to write that? I would love to see this  written and explored by you.
