If you go back far enough you have enough people who are your ancestors that being decended from royalty is a real posibility. If your ancestors are from western Europe and you go back 1000 years your ancestors would include most western Europeans living at that time, including nobles because they often had non-noble mistresses. This is because the numbers of ancestors you have increases exponentially each generation you go back. Most western Europeans likely also have a few non-european ancestors as a result of diplomats and traders hitting on the locals.

Thats pretty much what I was trying to say. One thing that bugs me about the number of ancestors is it don't add up. If you consider each generation 25 years then going back 1000 years would mean 40 generations. Then the number of ancestors you have 1000 years ago would be 2^40 (2 to the 40th power) or more than 1 trillion. This is WAY more than the population of the entire world at the time. And the further back you go the worse it gets. (Try carrying this back to 4000BC!)

If you really are 1/16 Native American, then just open your own casino in your driveway.

I'm more of a warrior than a chief.

and his driveway would have to be on Indian land.

[Lancer]

It's ALL indian land!

I'll start as a driver and within 90 days will move inside to a casino host, which means they really like me! I'll be talking over the casino wide announcer thingy.

Fame at last.

[Theben]

Google is your friend.

But FYI, she was an actress who won an award (oscar?) and said that (paraphrased) during her acceptance speech.

[Lancer]

Sally Kellerman was the female lead in the movie M*A*S*H. But Theben was thinking of Sally Fields' infamous Academy Awards speech.
