Get the sibling categories in Magento

Looking for an easy way to find the sibling categories in Magento? I know I was! But then I stumbled upon this neat little trick. Try this:

<?php $_siblingCategories = $_currentCategory->getParentCategory()->getChildrenCategories(); ?>
<ul>
    <?php foreach($_siblingCategories as $_siblingCategory): ?>
    <li>
        <?php echo $_siblingCategory->getName(); ?>
    </li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

<?php $_siblingCategories = $_currentCategory->getParentCategory()->getChildrenCategories(); ?>

<ul>

<?php foreach($_siblingCategories as $_siblingCategory): ?>

<li>

<?php echo $_siblingCategory->getName(); ?>

</li>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</ul>

Thanks go out to Tim Bezhashvyly for this neat little trick.
