Did you know that with all the research done to decode the human genome, scientists can now take any two individuals walking the planet, analyze their DNA, and pinpoint approximately (how's that for an oxymoron) when in the past they share a common ancestor. It's usually in the low thousands of years.
So.
We really are all related.
Great now we all have a place to stay in Montreal cuz!
ReplyDeleteI think I read somewhere that everyone is an 18th cousin or somehthing.
ReplyDeleteBut that's averages for you.
Have a good one, bro.
So, when I fantasize about you I am actually committing Incest? Thanks for making me feel dirty.
ReplyDeleteIndygirl and I have to check mothers maiden names before dating someone in our city, because our family is so damn huge.
ReplyDeleteThat would explain all the fugly people in the world - incest!:)
ReplyDeleteNo doubt we're all related -
Shhhhh, don't say that too loud. You might offend the bigots.... ;)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to be taller -- where did our ancestors go wrong?
ReplyDeleteIn that case I can think of a few people that I would like to be "kissin' cousins" with - since we're so close anyway!
ReplyDeleteI was about to say "hey bro!" and then I read ed's comment. only I no longer feel dirty about it, just frustrated. hey, but even incestuous May-December relationships never work. ***grin***
ReplyDeleteSo, when is the family reunion? I am assuming you want to host it this year.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm kinda pervy, but that just seems really sexy to me.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder we can't get along.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean that sliding lips with anyone on the planet basically is relative buggery? These scientifically bookish types can really take the fun out of everything.
ReplyDeletekb
We may all be related but I don't think we need to take out the banjos just yet.
ReplyDeleteSo - sex with your cousin 18 times removed is OK? No wonder we all fight like brothers and sisters...
ReplyDeleteI find this to be very useful information, and I plan to incorporate in my daily speech until I am driven out of this horrid town.
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't really help, as I'm sure quite a few people would rather give some of their family members the finger than a complete stranger.
ReplyDeleteThat explains why I hate so many people.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep that in mind next time someone calls me "daddy".
ReplyDeletethis is like that whole when a butterfly's wings move the air in africa isn't it?
ReplyDeletehokey or not, that's just plain cool.
