and my great great great great grandfather was furlongfurlongfurlong.

I imagine my descendants will be nanoparticles.

You must have fun memories of uncle RodRodRod.


I gotta admit, this is one area where the metric system is second best.

Is chain chain chain your only ancestor with a song? How did Aretha know him?

My dad got around. Oddly, John Cusack is from Evanston and his dad was in the advertising biz. So was my dad and we lived in Evanston for a couple of years at about the same time. People who know Cusack and have worked with him say that he and I not only look(ed) alike but have the same mannerisms.

Another reason why I find the show Mad Men hard to watch.

It could also mean your mom got around... do you look more like your siblings than, say, John Cusack looks like Joan Cusack? I think you'd be hard-pressed to argue that those two aren't related. Either way, I like the idea that you're a half-sibling to Jessie the cowgirl.

Who?
 

jeez, he looks like my grandpa.

From the South Bronx but allegedly committed a crime in NJ

> I have to admit I learned of this person soon after you posted a RFN photo, F3 and I thought this looked like your grandpa then too! Not that I know your grandpa just thought >relative

I'll have to hunt around and post a pic of him, from the south Bronx by way of Glasgow.

Bruno Hauptmann?

A Scot from Glasgow? My grandfather came from Govan.

No kidding? I'll have to ask my mother what part of Glasgow her dad was from.
I've never been, but it's on my bucket list.

XoB you are on fire but not quite

Yep, if he was a snake, he'd have bit you.

Nirv, is it Joseph Bonnano, aka, "Joe Bananas"?
