I assume I shouldn't label this as OC.

No, my whole family is as weird as me. I come from one long line of weird-as-fuck people.

I have a cousin who's got a knighthood. He's a physicist. He also has an IgNobel prize. He cares a whole lot more about the other one.

Yep, that is legit awesome. If I were related to someone with an IgNobel prize, I'd be bragging about it to everyone I know. Which I suppose isn't a lot of people, and I'm not sure how many would know what an IgNoble prize is, but I figure that is on them.

That is awesome. Also, your cousin sounds like my kind of people!
