Is This Interesting to People?

There's a news story making the rounds about former oldest man on the planet Strom Thurmond and Mr. Inject Yourself into Situations You Don't Belong Al Sharpton. Ends up that there may be a link between the two where Thurmond's relatives may have owned Sharpton's. My biggest question here is, does anyone really care? Does it matter? Just wondering your thoughts 'cause I think it's fairly clear I could care less.

I find it mildly amusing. It's a pleasant "news" story to interrupt the Anna Nicole "news"
As a geneticist, we're pretty much all related if you want to go back far enough, so I don't know why this is particularly remarkable. Yes, it's a great juxtaposition, but if you do the analysis you could probably find alot of that if you want to look at great great grandparents... But I don't think most people get that...

So in other words, JR might have a claim to Anna Nicole Smith's millions despite recent paternity denails?
