I found out something

[StormClouds]

OMGSH! I found out my uncle is the owner of Forbes

 

[Blank Verse]

cool...if it's true. would he be as rich as some of the people in Forbes?

 

[nickmahon]

If you're telling the truth, which I highly doubt, what's his first name?

 

[StormClouds]

no it is true! :chinese2:

he's kinda like my cousin twice removed.

 

[nickmahon]

His first name... ?

 

[jmiller]

Yes, I too am interested in what his name is.

Since when is a sorta-cousin twice removed, considered an uncle?

Your parent's cousins are often considered as uncle and aunt in some places.

 

[Canuckkev]

How did you find this out?

"Oh, hey, that guy has the same last name! I bet I'm related!"

 

[syd]

Yes... but is your own "sorta cousin" considered an uncle

My parents only have 1 cousin that I know of (my dads), I just call her my cousin even though she's 45

 

[trenzterra]

I call my parent's cousin (2nd cousin) uncle, oh my my cousin could then be 50+.


Bah I can be called uncle by my third cousin. :biggrin2:

 

[Daniel]

I'm uncle to someone who is older than me.

I assume the name of the person who wons Forbes would be named (insert name) Forbes...

whom I don't think is related to Spammer Magee over here.

I presume Steve Forbes, the billionarie who keeps running for president, owns forbes... unless he sold it.

Then again, maybe StormClouds is talking about a different forbes company... Forbes car wash, Forbes lemonade stand, something like that.
