Muha-ha-ha-ha:)) Stop at once and relax.
Everything is just fine. UID 0 is a right uid
for root and toor is a root user for boune shell,
i think, so they both have UID 0 which is UID
of a administrator, superuser or whatever.

As for Charlie. Well, Charlie was always a nice
guy. Or was it even a guy? Maybe a girl? Who 
knows. Anyway, this is a default human name for
root. Do 'vipw' to view all your account and you'll
see that for root name Cherlie is specified. Change
it if it bothers you.
