Oh, ferChrissake. Everybody is related to everybody else.
We're all descendants of Lucy, and have both the bonobos and chimps in our family tree as well. And that's only counting the close relatives. There isn't more than 10% variance in the DNA of the whole tribe.

Which, now that I think about it, may explain why so many of us are so good at flinging poop at each other.

4. We like to fling plasma-doodles.

15. My compatriots will be administering standard corrective action.
I am to be water boarded. They do this because they've heard the Boosh Administration says it's no big deal. Perhaps our civilization is not so advanced after all.

13. Somebody needs to create a table of Bacon numbers for all of them.
We could award Superdelegates based on the Bacon numbers & simplify this whole process.
