Keep it in the family eh.

Wonder how hollow it's left him feeling, & if he's waking up to nervous tremors after sleep.

Charles Darwin married his cousin.

I can't help feeling he'd have been a mite pissed off when he formulated his theory of evolution.

Ah, so its just about a generation gap. Makes sense now.

How is this news? Any one of us could be ninth cousins to our wives, especially those who married within the same town.

Everyone is descended from Y-Chromosome Adam and Mitochondrial Eve, so we are all cousins if you go back far enough.

apart from the fact Kevin Bacon clearly hasn't got a clue how to play Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon like.

His 8 x great grand parents were also her 9 x great grandparents (or something like that)
