wow, what year must that have been? I feel like if that happened today they'd be scooped up by police like 48 hours later.

My great grandma got tired of hearing my great grandpa saying he was going to get rid of a junk car. So when he went to work, she spent all day digging a hole and buried that car in the backyard. It's still on that property to this day.

My great uncle met Yanomami tribes during the 50s and ate "special" plates with them (monkeys, parrots and some other Yanomami meat ^_^')

My ucle did some research into our ancestors on my fathers side and claims that in medieval times some of our ancestors were tournament knights.

A bunch of crazy moonshiners on my fathers side and a bunch of unknowns on my mothers side.
I'm related (Seventh or eighth cousin) with Daniel Westling (The bloke who married Crown Princess Victoria in Sweden)
That's pretty much all i know :d

EDIT: Thanks for the giveaway, forgot to write that ^^

I didn't even know that Sweden still had an official royal family. And so what you're telling me is that you're somewhere in line to be monarch?

Perhaps i got a chance if every other relative drops dead otherwise i will just carry on being an unknown random person in Sweden.
So what i'm trying to say here is.. will you help me kill hundres of people so i can become a bigger part of the royal family?? on a second note, if that happens i probably must live in Stockholm so i think i'm better off where i live now :d

Nah, she's from Western Ukraine. It's a bit harsh for a her nowadays you know, living amongst us capitalists. :) But, yeah, she trully cherishes those old days. Hell, even my parents do so if I come to think of it.

My maternal grandfather was a JAG, and served as an adviser to one of Ike's cabinet members. My grandmother, his wife, was a proud Daughter of The Confederacy (not something I am proud of, nor was my mother). When my mom was in high school she was friends with someone that was not white... my grandmother shipped her off to the monastery. My mother was quickly expelled from there for smoking grass. Aside from the whole DoTC thing, I am proud of the rest.

Not ancestral: but my wife would like to add that her second cousin is Mark Hamill... it's her "claim to fame."

Well the more shameful parts of our ancestors should always be acknowledged, that's important I think. What's DoTC stand for though, that I don't know.

Also that's pretty neat, I'm a fan of Hamill's voice acting. And Star Wars ofc

DoTC is just my abbreviation for "Daughters of The Confederacy."

My great grandfather's clock stopped working the same day he died. My grandmother tried getting it fixed, but the no one was making the part that was broken anymore, so it was a lost cause, but she left it standing anyway since it looked good. A few years later, I was born on his birthday, and 5 years later on our birthday, it started ticking again, and it still is, almost 15 years later
