? Why ( apart from doing better in the Quiz via  cheating) would anyone want to register twice?

For reasons of mischief.

Exactly! I well remember a few years ago a member had two, if not three, identities, and on one occasion started a thread to which he then replied using his other identity.
He's still a member so I won't embarrass him by posting a link to the offending thread  ;D

If 'sew', why not just be honest as there would be people willing to help with a genuine query  :-\

Males seem to have an obsession with testing human reactions, such as the famous one concerning administering pain, or simple ones such as this which tests the "herd instinct":-

Hadn't seen the description 'sockpuppet' before, thanks Mike, aware of it happening though, as I did with the thread topic of OP in those earlier times.

Can only imagine how bleak it must have been with every effort made for extra warmth and also the health and hygiene conditions of the time.

Can't help but think of the growth of a child while being sewn in, since I read Christina Noble's account of her childhood in the slums of Dublin in her book 'Bridge Across My Sorrows', one image that has stayed with me is of her younger sister wearing a cardigan for months on end and it adhering to her skin   :'(  ... I suppose the greasefat would help prevent that and some allowance would be made perhaps  :-\

Also in recent times, a first hand account of an adolescent boy growing so much during his first year at high school, his dad bought next size up in both shirt and shorts at the beginning of each term ( 4 terms) ... just saying  :)
