I read it as meaning they were both pointed at the same square. No two pieces can occupy the same square regardless of what they are. However, one bishop can travel on/attack the white squares, the other only the black, as both move diagonally and start on a different coloured square. Unless you promote a pawn by moving it the length of the board, in which you can make it a bishop and it will occupy diagonals of the same colour as the ultimate square - but I never heard of anyone actually doing that, the defaults are queen or at a pinch, knight.
Or, you got to the end of the board behind the lines and chose a bishop instead of queen. Think about it Huh?

Doesn't matter, by the rules you can have half a dozen queens if you promote enough pawns. In practice, I've never seen more than three.

Actually meant arrowed. Forks and spears in chest. You know the bishop and the pawn form an invincible team?
