Ula and Särka, The Schlangen Menschen Pain-Proof Rubber Girls Contortion-Duo Extraordinaire, travel the world doing shows and fighting evil conformers. Defying the limits of the human body by lying on nails, contorting their limbs to grotesque extremes, and communicating with each other via their tele-patheticness, this dynamic duo can warm even the coldest of hearts.

But these pain proof-girls weren't always the superhuman two some you know today. Once upon a time, these two were actually one... orginally from Mauritania, they were born Siamese twins connected at the butt, to nomadic gypsies that roamed the desert. Their happy childhood was cut short when at the age of four they were sold to German scientists for 100 American dollars.

After carefully studying the twins, the scientists decided to disconnect their butts, leaving Särka the larger portion, and put them up for adoption on opposite sides of the continent. They were reunited at a fire-eater's pot-luck dinner. Ula brought pita and Särka brought babaganoush. They recognized each other instantly, formed an alliance, and their act was born.

Since then, they have amazed and entertained people internationally with their agility, grace, and charm.

PROLOGUE I

2001 - Present: Särka now known as Jill Bonne, works as a tattoo artist at State of Grace in San Jose, and Ula carries on the Pain-Proof Rubber Girl tradition as a solo act, with her bed of machetes, but the two are still connected in spirit.
