What's the most famous/infamous thing(s) a relative of yours has done?

A lot of cool stuff happened to my late grandfather. He helped capture a famous nazi during WWII - I doubt anyone will believe who.

He also went to the last World Series the Cubs were ever in with my grandmother right after coming back from the war. (Thats famous to Chicagoans)

Some mobster stole his lucrative hot dog vending job, that catered to the workers during the construction boom in Chicago in the 60's, and gave it to his nephew. Just like in the Godfather! -truth

Me - I've never done jack.

Some other stuff with other family members, but most people get bored when reading this far and probably don't care either. :)

I'll send you a PM. I don't want everyone here to think I'm a whack job. At least not anymore than they already do. :)

This is a porn chat forum. Anyone with more then 1,000 posts who is over the age of 21, I assume is a borderline whack job. Anyone with over 5,000? Certifiable. Over 5,000 and over 30? You might as well shoot yourself.

I just got certified, btw. Now where is my gun...

Did Freeones send you your certificate of authenticity in a nice frame like they did mine?

Just don't go on a killing spree. I wouldn't want you to get post homicidal depression.

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
I'm busy watching the Cavs game, playing Madden and drinking 7&7's so I'll have time to think of more later, but...

One of my relatives (great-great-great-great grandpa I believe), was the Chief for the Nez Pierce tribe. I've always thought that was pretty cool.

My uncle has been on nationally broadcast TV shows a few times. He is a brilliant math teacher and he has been blind his whole life. The "biggest" show he was on was Dateline NBC, when they did a segment on him. I've always thought that was pretty cool as well.
 
my half-brother is president of the united states :o
 
I don't think that any of my close relatives have ever done anything famous.

I've been told that my family is somehow connected to a well known person of my country, but I don't really put much faith in that, and it's besides very distant anyway. Not someone I'd ever think of as a relative.
 
My sister dated Lee Harvey Oswald once. She said he was nice but nuts.

My Grandfather told us that when he was a kid his dad put a drifter up for the night who turned out to be Frank James (Jesse's brother}.
 
have a cousin in houston who received a purple heart for saving some of his fellow soldiers when a bomb hit their convoy in iraq. best thing about that is you usually hear the recipient died in the act of "heroism". he's doing fine !!

My grand-father was a player in the Swedish football team, AIK.
 
My great uncle piloted a bomber that was shot down behind enemy lines in Germany during WW2. He got a purple heart and other commendations for saving three of his comrades.

My uncle was killed by the Mafia here in NJ, because he wouldn't sell his restaurant.

As for me, I would be semi-famous for taking part in something, but almost no one really knows I did it. :dunno:
