No tangible proof, but you can discuss the potential ramifications.

Re: It Turns Out that Criss Angel is distantly Related to Dai Vernon
Was this found via RNA testing or are folks going with the idea that being a member of the IBM implies actual brotherhood?

Apparently he didn't inherit any of the magic genes from Vernon.

Been a while since we heard a reference to Chris' mother... but cringe.

Is this the result of some actual family history(s) research, or am I missing the joke?
Researchers have connected Elvis and Oprah, Houdini and Herrmann,
Who knows?

If we'd have known that sooner Criss could have been an organ donor and Vernon would have been around longer.

Does this now mean David Blaine is related to Ed Marlo?

Is this, like, a brain teaser? Or are you calling Angel a bastard?

Re: It Turns Out that Criss Angel is distantly Related to Dai Vernon
Follow me here -- obviously Ricky Jay is related to Jay Sankey who in turn is related to Joshua Jay. Also note the connection between David Alexander and DAVID Regal.
A coincidence? Mere moronic speculation? I don't think so -- these are CONNECTIONS that MEAN SOMETHING. And I KNOW because:
God is hope.
Hope is Bob.

Still seems accusatory - as per Muir.

If you look at the picture of Bob Dobbs at the Church of the SubGenius and imagine him without the pipe and with glasses you have Steve Colbert of the Colbert Report.
Really scary...

Circa 1980, the first personal computer to feature 1 megabyte of on-board RAM, the Atari 1040ST, had 4 key characters in its ROM that when printed in the correct order, displayed a picture of Bob Dobbs!
Strange but true.

I felt inspired to produce a completely nonsensical post, and some of my friends have posted nonsensically in return.

Re: It Turns Out that Criss Angel is distantly Related to Dai Vernon
I've just thought of a nonsensical game that we can play. Just replace the words "Criss Angel" and "Mindfreak" in News Headline's with "Dai Vernon" & "Professor"and see how it reads.
For Example:
March 8, 2010: Dai Vernon
Raw will bring extra magic and quite possibly blow your mind only three weeks before WrestleMania as the Professor himself, Dai Vernon, hosts Raw from Portland, Ore.
Dai Vernon is more than your average illusionist. In addition to his hit show "Professor", Vernon has teamed with Cirque du Soleil to take magic to a new, introspective and psychological level with Believe in Las Vegas.
What kind of illusions with "Dai Vernon" create on Raw? You will have to see to believe March 8!
Please Note :: The sentence "What kind of illusions with "Dai Vernon" create on Raw? You will have to see to believe March 8! is not a typo on my part, it is just as written on the WWE website here: http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/special/al ... guesthosts

Looks like March 8th might be the night to catch the Believe show. . .

I do have to admit to have been inspired by an old George Carlin routine, but fun nonetheless.

What, you mean you actually spent time composing a nonsensical post because this place doesn't have a sufficient supply delivered on a daily basis?

Do you think that Angel can hang with the acting talents of the Raw stars.

That is correct, I know his acting skills are on par with the likes of Hulk Hogan, Macho Man, etc. He should fit right in!
But then again that might be insulting the acting careers of some of the wrestlers.

Perhaps Kevin Bacon can give up the tile to his famous game and call it the 6 degrees of Criss Angel
