Why they might be annoying:

    They were known as a Depression-era freak show.
    They are identical quintuplets.
    Cecile said she learned the word 'doctor' before she learned 'mother.'
    They endorsed hundreds of products, cashing in on their birth.
    Marie was arrested for assault (December 15, 1964).
    They have their own museum.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Although they were in good health, they were taken from their parents and lived at a hospital that became a tourist mecca called Quintland.'
    They made the government and nearby businesses an estimated half-billion dollars off the tourists.
    They were studied and scrutinized like human mice.
    When they were returned to their parents, their father abused them physically and sexually.
    Emilie died at twenty of epilepsy (August 6, 1954).
    Marie died at thirty-five of a stroke (February 27, 1970).
    Yvonne died at sixty-seven of cancer (June 23, 2001).
    In 1998, while the three surviving sisters lived together in poverty in a Montreal suburb, they settled a childhood exploitation case and was awarded $4,000,000 from the Canadian government (1998).
