i don't think so. With this vast universe we live in, how could anything be one of a kind. Everyone has unique fingerprints and every snowflake is supposed to be different, but like the guy above me said. that doesn't mean they are unique

All living organisms are one of a kind, because despite having some attributes in common with others, there are always differences, either caused by the environment or the developmental process. Even identical twin organisms are not truly alike. For example, human identical twins have different fingerprints, so they are unique.

I think you mean conceptual uniqueness. An individual snowflake or fingerprint are unique, but they conceptually are the same thing and can be classified by their description. But thinking of a thing that doesn't exist anywhere else is a bit more difficult. I might say ""universe" as I don't know of any others out there.

Aren't Cabbage Patch Kids supposed to be one of a kind?If not , lots of people were fooled by false advertising. They should make a doll called Clone Patch Kids.

the majority of people are one of a kind. identical twins of course aren't but single birth folk are one of a kind.
snowflakes are one of a kind.
i think your feelings are one of a kind. no one can feel the same things you are feeling at any given time. you may both feel happy - but factor in varying degrees of any emotion and that would make it one of a kind.
i like the fingerprint answer - that would be an interesting study!

They say our fingerprints are all one of a kind...but I'd like to believe that at some point in time that an exact patten has been reused...maybe not at the same point in time but hundreds of years spread apart...wouldn't that be cool to investigate?

Aren't we all, as humans, one of a kind? Even identical twins have SOME differences.
Snow flakes are no two alike.
You make me question why people often fight change and fear diversity when that's why we're all so beautifully individual.

On an atomic scale no two bodies/objects share idententical characteristics.
The real question should be in reality are there any two thing objects that are atomicaly identical.
I don't think so as you would have to take into account its subatomic compostion.
Cheers!

Everything in the universe is one of a kind. Just because we call all leafs leaf doesn't mean they are all the same.

Broken down to the molecular level, there a quite a few "one-of-a-kind" things. Water is one.
