Through a project at school in a similar vein as this, I discovered that I'm related to the king Macbeth.

Even though he died.

Cousin, pr'aps?

Anyways, I made it known to everyone in my class (Through what I sincerely hope to be an admin error are all pretty stupid) that I was related to someone who was a character in a play.

Then I let them know that no, really, he was an actual person.

Then that not everyone in a play is made up.

Then I gave up and told my teachers, who didn't care.

Ah, high school.
