A three Dimensional family tree: what happens when cousins marry

A wise historian once said that if you always marry in the same gene pool the IQ will go down the toilet.

I really want to know if this includes adopting people into the family line. Yes, my aunt, by adoption, is now my mother-in-law. How freakishly confusing would that be?

Very.

Thank you August Julian Caesar for making a cobblers knot out of the princps line for the Romans. And by extension me.

What were you thinking? Hmm?

I am awesome and have no male children so I am going to use my daughter ruthlessly in the marriage game. First I am going to marry her to one of my cousins, then I am going to name him my heir only to have him die suddenly.

Okay new game plan. I am going to marry my daughter to the man who is second in command. Then when he dies I am going to marry her to some other dude who will eventually take over as the second princps of Rome. But only after almost all of my grandkids are dead and a few other random relatives as well.

Yes. So... he was a world class jerk to his daughter. On the bright side he did wonders for holding the country together and ended up being deified and worshiped for centuries.

And that is where Rome went wrong.

In other news I am dying for a week of nothing so I can finish up all the papers I am needing to write. FML. I am thinking about being a career student.

Degree in Communication: Check
Degree in Graphic Design: Check
Degree in Bullshitting People: Check
Masters in Concealed Weapon Carry: Check
Doctorate in Nothing Anybody Gives a Shit About: Check

Sounds good to me.

I almost have the first one. So all I need to do now is start working on the next one. Personally I would like to jump straight to my Masters. How cool would it be if I could actually get a degree in Concealed Weapons? Freaking awesome, that's what.

I am honestly thinking about going on to get my Masters. But it seems so intense. At the same time I would be the first (at least in my immediate family) to get my masters. What a minute.

Damn.

I think my sister has her masters in teaching.

Fail.

Okay so moving on to Doctorate degree. Because I want to spend the rest of my life working on some obscure thing no one but me will care about. Yes. Sounds super fun. In a completely dull and uninteresting kind of way.

Maybe I can get my doctorate in stand up comedy.
