    OK, this is a good family secret.

    I decided earlier this week to fly my sister from Santa Cruz, CA to Houston to surprise my Dad for Father's Day. She's going to walk into Enron at about 3:30, and he has no idea!!

    Ouch! Oh wait, wrong thread.

    When this guy started smoking 40 years ago, people had no idea it was bad for you. People had to guess based on the hacking cough, shortness of breath, and bloody phlegm

    girl you looks good won't you mock that draft up?!

    I don't have a "family secret" just more like a family oddity of sorts. Through my Dad's, Dad line of the Family tree I am related to George Washington. From what my Grandmother tells me its something to the effect of a bunch of greats with an Uncle on the end. And this one is on through my Dad's Mom, if former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich was actually a Gingrich, he's not he's adopted. I would be related to him. I think that's more like a cousin relationship.

    My family secrets are still secret, and I don't plan on finding out anytime soon. I'm half Italian (mother's side), and have come across pictures in my parent's attic of men in dark suits and lots of jewelry:

    Me: "Mom, who are these guys?"
    Mom: "That's Uncle Vicente and his partners"
    Me: "Partners? What did he do?"
    Mom: "Um...he ran the family business"
    Me: "Oh"


    Nothing was ever asked or mentioned about Uncle Vicente again.

    ------------------
    I always thought "With my talent, it's only a matter of time before I'm discovered". Now I think "With my talent, it's only a matter of time before I'm found out".

    Neato... I'm half-Italian and was never allowed to meet one of my great uncles from New York. Of course, I have no idea if he was in the mafia or something or if he was just a drunk, etc... but nobody ever talked about him. I prefer to think he was in the mafia, because that's more dramatic [​IMG]. In reality, he was probably just a jerk-off.
