I don't use my real name online for security reasons. One being that I have a rather unique last name. With that, I estimate that probably 90%or more of people with the same last name is a relative. In fact, you drop the last letter and odds are still pretty good that they are related (more distant). When I was 6, my mother moved me to TX from IL, where the entirety of my know family existed. I recently learned that there is another section of the family that moved to East TX several decades ago.
Google has this cool program that scours news articles looking for keywords you assign and then sends you links to the articles (probably available elsewhere, but this is the one I know of). I have my last name programmed into this and received a rather disturbing news article yesterday, and several more today.

I really wish I could say with some confidence, "This jerk off is no relation to me!!!" Granted, if he is it is probably something like 5th or 6th cousins or more, but still, that seems too close!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled mayhem!
