10. I hope that's not true, under secret provisions of the Patriot Act
he would be allowed to harvest your organs for spare parts, even though you are still using them.

13. I could be related to GWBush
My father told me that I had ancestors with the last name of Bush. They were traveling out West and became lost in a blizzard.

15. I share an ancestor with Bush
We are both descended from John Howland and Elizabeth Tilley, Mayflower pilgrims. Their story is highly interesting; his isn't. They were plain people -- he came over as a manservant; she was just a girl with her family, orphaned the first winter. Bush, on the other hand, is a meritless narcissist with delusions of his own grandeur.
