    I'm loosely related to Sir Francis Bacon and Hitler, apparently.

    Not that I know of. Although my pops was adopted right from the get go. For all I know I'm related to Fabio. Or one of you, if you find yourself famous because you come up on Google.

    It's pedantic but as we are all related, in theory everybody who is famous is related to me.

    But in terms of the last few generations I wouldn't know - I don't ask a lot of questions.

    Speak of 'don't ask a lot of questions' A lot of really old relatives of mine used to be Triad...what's the term you guys use: loan sharks.

    Yep. They don't act like it but my dad told me and I was like OooOOOOOooo

    Being Scottish, I have direct lineage to William Wallace, obviously.


    But 4srs, I don't think I have anything famous going on in my history, but who knows! I haven't investigated it.

    i seen in QI that almost everyone in England can trace their family back to Richard The Lionheart. If you go back far enough you family tree is that widfe & extensive it literally becomes irrelevant.

    My grandfather's mother was the daughter of a Mexican crime lord, if that counts for anything.

    Aside of that, I am a filthy heritageless American and therefore have no idea.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I've heard a similar story regarding Genghis Khan and everyone alive today. I'm kind of sceptical about that, though. xD

    Also, QI. Awesome show.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!
