Hey Chris! My name is Pat Higgins. I have been enjoying your blogs on MentalFloss for quite awhile now and could not help but notice some crazy coincidences with you and my brother.

A. Your names are the same! Chris Higgins

B. From your tiny blog pic on MentalFloss you two look alot alike goatee and all. Heres his family website where you can compare. (www.higginsplace.com)

C. Your day job had to do with with web designing, and my brother is a web designer.

I just thought this was pretty crazy and wanted to share it with you. Take care and keep writing!

All the best!

Pat Higgins

Hey Pat,

That's crazy -- we totally look alike, and it looks like he was born just two months before me. Small, small world. :)

Contacting Chris Higgins



I'm a writer based in Portland, Oregon. I mostly write for Mental Floss magazine (and their website), though I recently had a story on This American Life, and had a cover story last year in The Portland Mercury.

You can follow me on Twitter for occasional jokes, or find me on Facebook for updates on writing and utterly shameless self-promotion.

I'm also a mobile website and smartphone app developer. I work for Cloud Four. In years past, I worked with Night & Day Studios; I helped create Peekaboo Barn, Peekaboo Wild, Big Fat Lies, Life in Short, Cocktail Compass, Nick Jr.'s A-Z With Moose and Zee, Quibble, Savage Love, and a bunch of other apps.
