President Bush is related to the royal family, in particular the Spencers. He is 17th cousins with Prince William. Their distant relation was a man named Henry Spencer of Badby, Northamptonshire who lived between 1420-1478.
This is kind of interesting, since President Bush deeply admires Churchill and keeps a bust of him on his desk. I’m sure Bush is enjoying this new-found knowledge.
A few months ago I was watching CNN, and there was all this talk about some baseball legend that had died, by the name of Ted Williams. It was a big story and they just kept going on and on about it. I have no knowledge of sports nor do I have any interest in it, so for several days I was going around saying “who the hell is Ted Williams?”
A few weeks later I found out that I am his 3rd cousin. I still don’t like baseball.
