Wasn't there someone on SGL that met a woman with the surname Herschel and started explaining about an astronomer with the same name and what he had done etc. :rolleyes:

Then when he stopped to get the next breath she said yes she knew of him, he was her great uncle/drandfather or some similar relation. :grin:
