Ooops I already forgot one: Jake Gyllenhaal. I'm actually distantly related to him, as well as Judge.

Just what do you hope to accomplish by posting this?

I assume that he felt it was both mundane and pointless, and this was driven to share it in the forum.

Six items running at full blast through a well-engineered engine will put you, and something like 50 tons of cargo, into space. Alternatively, if you thrust sideways, you will briefly be a fireball screaming across the sky at mach 14 before you melt from atmospheric friction.

Compare notes.

I was hoping for stories from anyone as far as "I met so and so and this is how it went"

Maya Angelou recently made my job more difficult.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

I once had a list of people who's hands I'd shaken, and were important enough to have a wiki page. It ended up all being politicians and academics and I stopped caring.

I could make a list of politicians I've talked to and subsequently lost all respect for in the following year. But they're not american so nobody would care. OH WAIT nobody cares who met who!

I have the greatest ancestry of all.

If you go by Brahmin family ancestors, I come from the same forefather as Rama and Gautama Buddha.

Because the number of ancestors you have doubles with each generation you go back while human population decreases with each generation you go back, after not that many generations back, your ancestors probably include almost everyone.

My mom bought me a DNA test from 23andMe for Christmas this year (in before the FDA!), and I'm actually really interested in learning about my ancestry. My dad's side of the family has some pretty wacky stories to tell when it comes to genealogy, and it will be interesting to see if DNA backs them up.
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.

The Brahmin family ancestry thing is a little bit more regimented and don't you know Godhood cannot be diluted. Fuckers, I am become death, destroyer of worlds. But that will have to wait. I'm going to go nurse this paper cut of mine.

Well, that beats me.

Leod, the progenitor of the McLeods, was the adopted son of a Viking king named Olaf the Black.

I believe this makes me ever so slightly a prince.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

--The horror of Mario

According to my grandmother, we're related to Kaiser Wilhelm. Due to the nature of nobility, this would mean I'm related to nobility of virtually every european nation.
Cuz apparently I gotta break this down for you dense motherfuckers- I'm trans feminine nonbinary. My pronouns are they/them.

My mother would be directly in the royal line of King Wenceslaus if he wasn't unseated and murdered by his asshole of a brother. Also if Bohemia was still a nation. And a monarchy. Hey Frank, I could have been your king.

Well, I'm descended from Abdul Fakkadi, the Supreme Military Commander, President-for-Life, and King of Kings of the Socialist Democratic Federated Republic of Carbombya.

And the painter John La Farge.

My father was apparently a distant cousin of Eddie Rabbitt (my username comes from a nickname I had at high school, that has to do with the name of my relative) and my maternal grandmother claims descent from the House of Stuart.

Well, John La Farge is dead, and Abdul only accepts nubile virgins, so I'd have to say no.
