something you'll never need to know

[alliecat8]

haldoor brought up that old show Starsky and Hutch, and it made me decide to spam you guys. :) I used to LOVE Starsky, played by Paul Michael Glaser. Then my dad told me a bit of trivia (I think hkath knows this already from a chat session in which I was asked if I was googling my relatives, heh) - Paul Michael Glaser is my grandmother's cousin's son. Now, help me work this out, if you can. Would this make him my second cousin once removed? And his son, who is HOT and also an AIDS activist, so I love him, too, would be my third cousin. Is that right?

Back in the days of the show, I decided that even though we were relatives, Starsky and I were far enough removed that we could still get married, lol!

Grandmother's cousin's son...

Your grandmother's cousin...so your grandmother's parent's sibling's son's son.

Whooo, you mean I got it right?! When I'm trying to figure out relations I picture a ladder, and in this case it was, like, 2 rungs down and 1 step over...or something like that. 'Course I never even thought to google it. *off to get a DUH icon*

Ha! Yours is pretty good (can you imagine those two as S & H?) but how about this one?
