You mean I have to stay?

 

[the fly]

Correct. My grandfather was born 1896

I don't have that with any of my grandparents, but my grandmother only needs to go back to her parents to span 3 centuries.

There is an original Gold Medal from the 1956 Olympics still unclaimed. The Men's single sculls was held (as all rowing events were) at Lake Wendouree in Ballarat. The winner was Vyacheslav Ivanov. As he stood on the podium after the event, having received his Gold Medal, he was so happy he started throwing his medal up and catching it. You guessed it - he dropped it - into Lake Wendouree. He dived in after it, but couldn't find it. Eventually, the IOC awarded him another medal (and he won the sculls in 1960 and 1964, so he didn't exactly miss out).

Nevertheless, there is still a Gold Medal lying somewhere in the mud of Lake Wendouree - there have been several attempts to find it, and when the lake has been dry (as it has been a few times - the most recent being just a few years ago), it was possible to see people out with the metal detectors, still searching for the elusive medal.

I would say that it was found and quietly pocketed very quickly.

My grandparents parents are all born in the 1910s. As such, there are 6 generations of my family born inside a single 100 year period, 5 generations alive today

We're late breeders in our family, my grandparents were all born in the 1910s, and yet their great grandkids are all still under ten.

Yeah, one branch of our family are rabbit-like. Great grandmother at 52, grandmother at 33 kind of setup...

I'm discounting my mum's dad, because he's been unheard of for the last sixty years, but he was from a Quebecois Catholic family, and was one of eleven, so god knows how many generations those hicks over there have managed to pump out between them.

Hey bro

 

[The_Reaper]

My fathers side of the family is sort of that.

My grandfather was born in 1904, my father in 1952 and I was born in the early 90s

Though both my father and I are the youngest child
