you have no idea how many people just stare at me and ask who he is.

I live in Ohio, so you'd think even us Cincinnati people would know who he was but apparently I'm wrong

Well my moms cousin is Randy Leen... pro golfer.  I'd be pretty surprised if anyone knows him.  Otherwise that's about it.

Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769-1852). He lead the army that defeated Napolean. But I don't think very many people know of him, although I could be wrong. He has a fun Wiki article ;) But an even more fun fact is that my mom's best friend was a descendent of Napolean in some way and they used to tease each other about their relatives being at war. Strange how things turn out..

Anyway, I'm really bored...

my great, or great great grandfather (im not sure) was a complete loner and had this fucked up lab behind his house and did all sorts of experiment shit.  He eventually discovered Methylphenidate, also known as ritalin.
