The Gorillas are twins....

From the Greek and Aramaic..... Twins. (dydimus \ T’om’a)

Didumos: Didymus.
Original Word: Δίδυμος, ου, ὁ
Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine
Transliteration: Didumos
Phonetic Spelling: (did'-oo-mos)
Short Definition: the Twin, Didymus, Thomas
Definition: the Twin; Didymus, the Greek name equivalent to Thomas.

T’om’a: originating from Aramaic t’om’a, meaning ‘twin’,

The Everything Bagel represents the ancient Ouroborus:

The ouroboros or uroborus is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. Originating in ancient Egyptian iconography, the ouroboros entered western tradition via Greek magical tradition and was adopted as a symbol in Gnosticism and Hermeticism, ll and most notably in alchemy. Via medieval alchemical tradition, the symbol entered Renaissance magic and modern symbolism, often taken to symbolize introspection, the eternal return or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself. It also represents the infinite cycle of nature's endless creation and destruction, life and death.

The term derives from Ancient Greek: οὐροβόρος, from οὐρά (oura), "tail" + βορά (bora), "food", ffrom βιβρώσκω (bibrōskō), "I eat".

Early alchemical ouroboros illustration with the words ἓν τὸ πᾶν ("The All is One") from the work of Cleopatra the Alchemist (c. third century, Egypt).

From the Gospel of the Twin (Didymos Thomas) written around 30AD :

Jesus said to them, "When you make the two one, and when you make the inside like the outside and the outside like the inside, and the above like the below...... and a likeness in place of a likeness; then will you enter the kingdom."

Is this your Theory of Everything ?

So, I have a few tips for your entry that may help you do better in the contest.

You have to put Comedy Open Mic - Round 12 in your title
You have to sprinkle a little comedy in the post, and
You need to nominate two other Steemians to add their own funny post in the contest too.
You could probably photoshop a double ended rubber dong going into their mouths.

Oh... this wasn’t for any contest. I posted my memes in the comments of the ComedyOpenMic

Oh, I just assumed, because this is carrying the tag for entries in the contest. My mistake.
