>Hey, did you guys see that this week, the last widow of a Civil War veteran died? She was in her 80's, but at 21, had married an 81-year-old Civil War vet. According to the obit, it was a marriage of convenience (she had a small child), but nonetheless produced a son. After the vet died, she married his grandson. So this means the child of the marriage had his nephew as his stepfather. Sounds an awful lot like "I'm my own grandpa."

As a matter of fact, I did notice that. I don't know if you can get to this but here's a URL on the story.
