OK, NB's twin is (apparently) pretty close to identical. Why is it that
they have different last names (Brendon, Kelly Schultz)? How does that
happen? Screen names, maybe, as in Baker vs. Monroe?

Robert,

They *are* identical twins--very few identical twins look and sound
*exactly* the same, due to slightly different environments, experiences,
etc. Both of them use (or, at least, used in this episode) their first
and middle names instead of their first and last name (which is
Schultz). Nick's middle name is Brendon, while Kelly's is Donovan. So we
had Nicholas Brendon and Kelly Donovan (that's how he was credited last
night, even though some TV listings showed him as Kelly Schultz) instead
of Nicholas and Kelly Schultz.

Their names are Nicholas Brendon Schultz, and Kelly Donovan Schultz. I
guess they figure that the last name doesn't look good on a marquee.

Yeah, the name "Schultz" isn't really synonymous in our culture for one who
knows very much...(ie, "I know NOTHING, Herr Commandant....NOTHING!").

I don't know ... kinda ironic then that we see Xander do the Snoopy
Dance then eh? Seemed like he was Channeling Charles Schultz during
that performance ...
