Nearly everyone is a descendant of some royalty somewhere in the past. The sheer number of people who have intermingled and reproduced in the last couple of thousand years makes it all but a mathematical certainty.

Whoa, I read that as queer and went "Zomg!"

Yeah, but it was more blatant when I read it as queer, because when he said queen, it actually has some bearing on the thread (man, queen, homosexual, etc.)

LoKe doesn't get a lot of things, but when you call him on it he'll say he understood it, he was just waiting to see if everyone else knew first.

<--- distantly related to John Locke. That's about as close as I get to someone royal and/or influential, and he wasn't the biggest fan of the Crown or nobility. ;)

Nice reply, especially since I just explained it, before you even posted. Idiot.

I can't help but think of Baldrick. "You can't fire me milord. The Baldricks have been in your family longer than syphilis!"

Friend's girlfriend is a decendant of some Hungarian royal family. She claims that her ring is proof... No real way to confirm that but it is a good story... until you have heard it 10,000 times.

my Grandmother traces her lineage back to a hawaiian queen or princess or something.
