Post by Noise Monkey »

So, there I was, reading the news because...well, it was either that or get back to work, and there I saw this rather loving image:

Kinda gives you hope for the world, no?

That's cool. My first cousin took a picture that was published in a snowboarding magazine.


I'm pretty sure I lose. :shifty:

Yeah...he was also on Donahue when he was in highschool for protesting school dress codes (he didn't want to wear socks with his tennis shoes or something). But truth be told, we're not exactly chummy, considering that he went out of his way to be nasty to me for most of our childhood.

But my second cousin on my dad's side plays on the Puerto Rican national basketball team!

As far as I'm aware, I have no relations of any importance. I could, possibly, be related to the lieutenant governor of Oklahoma, in some fashion, but it's not like Oklahoma is all that big a deal.

It is, apparently, up to me to make something of my family. I believe I have failed.

The only famous person I know about on either side of my family is Napoléon Bonaparte, my great-great-great-great-great-uncle on my father's mother's side.

I guess an ancestor of mine was the quartermaster under George Washington in the Revolutionary War.

The only famous person I know about is Abraham Lincoln, somewhere on my dad's side. As for cousins...I don't actually know any well enough to know what they're doing. Mom emailed me last year that my cousin Kelly had been in a motorcycle accident. My response: "I have a cousin Kelly?"

I got that beat.... I got that beat! 100% of my DNA came from an archaean prokaryote sometime around the Pre-Cambrian.

Maternal side: A famous artist of some type. A few famous Indians. Rumors of the Wright Brothers.

My biological paternal side: My only living uncle was almost a pro golfer. My father won a national title in drag racing. Rumours of relations to John Smith, one of the big wigs of helping found our country. Also President Wilson.

Also cousins, I don't keep up with them. Most of them are "ugh".
