Hey Brad Pitt, where's the love?

According to some new research in Denmark, I am related to Brad Pitt. Why were researchers in Denmark trying to find a relation between Brad and I? That's a very good question. I suppose you'd have to ask them... (or just read the article)

This research does bring up some disturbing questions:
  • Did Brad and Angelina know they were related before they hooked up?
  • Did Maddie marry me just to get closer to Brad? No, of course not...right honey? (It was probably to be closer to Paul Newman :-p)
  • Does anyone care if all blue eyes come from the same gene pool when in all likely hood if you can go back *far enough* you are going to see we all came from the same murky sea of genetic evolution?
I mean, we all have two arms and five fingers on each hand - that's gotta be in the same gene sequence as say, the head goes on top and the feet on the bottom. We are from an extremely limited set of alpha parents if you go back far enough in time.

Anyway, belated happy birthday to my relatives out there I haven't met before - welcome to the family.
