    I would certainly play down any blood ties with Bush if I am Obama. He is leading in the campaign and do not need Bush whose hands are full of blood.....

    Yup, and everyone in the world is related through our monkey ancestors or Adam and Eve if you don't believe in evolution.

    Hello very very distant cousins :D

    This type of story pops up every election cycle. I remember in 2004 they were talking about how Kerry and Bush were related and how they were both related to European kings and queens going all the way back to Charlemagne. We're talking about 9th and 10th cousins here. Do you realize how many 10th cousins you have? Literally millions. If the average person traced their family tree to their 10th cousins they would find that they are related to all sorts of famous and powerful people.

    We're all related if you go back far enough... Hello brothers & sisters ;)

    I love thinking about it though... It's really where you get into the butterfly effect and how one person dying in 1347 could change all of history since then sort of deal.

    When people of different races have children it's quite interesting because it's sort of a reuniting of genetic material. Of course, as you know, all people's ancient ancestors are from Africa... It's quite interesting to think of how different people split off at different times and different groups were formed.

    It's all transitory... All interlinked.

    Wow Man! Life! It's amazing :) :) :)

    I am the reincarnation of Charlemagne. And, not quite as cool, that guy who slopped the pig sty in Les Sables, during the vendee.

    Probably most people in digitalpoint is related in some way by some relative. Back in the past a lot of people traveled the world having sex in all types of countries.

    If you go back far enough, everyone is related.
