<p>A (former) Harlem Globetrotter used to live down the street from me.</p>
<p>I have a nobel prize winner a few generations back. </p>
<p>Apparently I'm a direct descendant of Abraham or some bible guy. My great great grandfather was a very special type of Rabbi because of his ancestry, apperently someone in my family got tested for the Abraham Y chromosome and it turned out positive.</p>
<p>I have some italian spies as well, as well as some relatives who were imprisoned in Kenya and escaped the prison to go climb mount kenya and then come back returned to prison.</p>
<p>Also I know the guys who invented fiber optics (Don Keck and friends). The president of the Harvard Board lives down the street from me. I've also met countless CEO's of Taiwanese electronics company, later in the year I'm having lunch with the president of Taiwan. Also I've met (she started the conversation) one of Malaysia's ten sexiest women.</p>
<p>I've also met a billionare or to, I think his name was Fairborz or something.</p>
<p>Also, I have connections to the Chinese mafia I think, I've only heard wispering of such things though.</p>
<p>Heh, heh, connections make the world go 'round.</p>
<p>untilted, yeah. my mom gave gong li a C in her class too!! i bet she wasn't too happy. too bad I don't remember b/c i was just a baby.</p>
<p>My grandpa fought for indian freedom and was well known to Gandhi</p>
<p>My cousin, 27, will be the youngest VP at Goldman Sachs this october. He also broke the record for the highest score on CFA (Certified Financial Analyst) exams</p>
<p>My teacher was good friends with mike tyson - was in his school and stuff. this isnt of course a necessarily good relation to have though lol.</p>
<p>I was Gandhi's guru.</p>
<p>My grandma invented clothes.</p>
<p>Rutherford B Hayes</p>

<p>I ended up having Alex Trebek as a competition proctor (the NGB) in 8th grade.</p>
<p>well, my aunt's aunt's great grandma (or something like that) has a collection of love notes from Abe Lincoln. She turned down his marriage proposal.</p>
<p>I am also directly related to a few ministers in India, and my cousin is currently engaged to a prince (prince of a province in India).</p>
<p>this kid in my english class is related to blackbeard and hitler(i think.. it was someone that would make the fact that his aunt is jewish ironic).</p>
<p>Pocahontas. She's my great (not sure how many) aunt.
Which is funny, because other than that bit of Native American, I'm Irish and Polish.</p>
<p>
<p>Sammie the singer ("I like the way you look at me, I like it, girl, don't you know I like it"--Bow Wow's shadow) went to my school. Graduated last year. Wayne Brady used to go to my school too.</p>
<p>But I'm not related to either of them.
</p>
<p>i didn't sammie went to "our" school... yeah, i didn't know if anyone from my school was on here. And wait he graduated last year, was he literally at school, like a normal student?</p>
<p>Hitler's aunt wasn't Jewish. Supposedly his grandmother bore his father (or mother maybe? dunno) with a Jewish man, but it isn't a fact, or even proven.</p>
<p>not hitler's aunt , the kid in my class's aunt was jewish.</p>
<p>anyway met famous people.. sure: bill clinton,the "mayor" of hollywood, the producer of shawshank redemption and some other stuff, An executive producer at Paramount (A.C. Lyles), my dad (isn't famous nationally but founded the African American Male Summit, is an columnist at the orlando Sentinel and used to be on the editorial board) and he works with a recent winner of the Pulitzer prize , who i've known since i was very little. My great grandfather invented something and worked at the US Patent office.
My best friend was on a crew team with the (i guess) ex-girlfriend of Teddy Geiger.
I met Maya Angelou.
I met Nikki Giovanni and have her autograph.</p>
<p>Natalie Portman is my wife.</p>
<p>Come on let's keep it serious. It's not even that funny saying something like you invented the wheel.</p>
<p>My friend (graduating this year) was Kit in Star Wars Episode I.</p>
<p>My teacher's brother is in Smallville (last name Glover). They film it in Canada. Hell, they film everything in Canada these days.</p>
<p>Ethan Hawke went to my school.</p>
<p>My good friend's mom met Natalie Portman at the dentist's about a month ago in Princeton. Natalie's cousin was getting her wisdom teeth removed. They met in the waiting area. Oh and her mom was there too. I was LITERALLY on the floor about to cry. LITERALLY. <em>Freaks out</em>. NATALIE PORTMAN WAS LIKE 2 MILES FROM MEEEEEEE AHH. Oh yeah and Kit from Star Wars met her too, of course. You can see him on the behind-the-scenes DVD. He's the really small Indian kid. He was sitting next to George Lucas in the scene where they were reading through the script at a long table.</p>
<p>My sister's friend has a class with Ashley Olsen at NYU.</p>
<p>My sister's other friend has waited on Norah Jones (!!) at a cafe in DC.</p>
<p>My friend knows Jesse McCartney. According to her, he's a dork in person. :P</p>
<p>"My sister's friend has a class with Ashley Olsen at NYU."-theoneo </p>
<p>I thought she transfered out of NYU.?</p>
<p>I thought Mary-Kate transferred? It's definitely this semester cause my sister was planning to go visit her friend and go to her class, so there's definitely one still at NYU. The Olsen (whichever one it is) has a body guard with her every day in class. Creeeepy.</p>
