Dear Prudence on Slate.com always has some zingers, today being a dad keeping secret that his illigetimate son is marrying his niece and neither is aware of the fact they are related. Her advice is to keep it a secret.

What's your opinion?

The Targaryens did it for years and Daenerys came out ok. I say why not.

:rolleyes: Only a few would understand this.

There are more GoT fans than you would think...
by the way Jon Snow isn't Eddard Stark's son.

I assume that was a spoiler. -Admin DrPizza

Didn't we have a cousin thread where Alchemyst said he hooked up with one of his? God that thread was gold.

Back in the day we had a user named Luvya who hit on his cousin, and if I remember correctly she freaked out on him. I think the mods deleted the thread, though.

Yes I know that. Thats why when they found the wolves, they gave him the white wolf. Also they already discussed this within the episodes.
Even in my non-techy circles, I'm surprised by how many people know GoT.
Not many people know the show here, well at least at my school :/

How about later in life if medical testing is required and they find out they are closely related. If it was more distantly related I think the genetic worries aren't really there, but first cousins is probably close enough to be a worry.

Ah well, family get together's should be interesting for that guy :p

Who cares if your family tree looks like a wreath? We are all inbred.

We all came from the same two people. Everyone knows this.

They never discussed that in the episodes. Every episode only pointed to Jon Snow being a bastard of Eddard Stark.

Probably because not many people in NC have TV, let alone electricity to run it. :)
