    Most pointless thread, 2015. Feel free to lock this and/or ban me afterwards.

    My uncle's wife's sister's husband is the uncle of Bob (name has been changed for privacy reasons). Am I related to Bob? This is not a riddle.

    I couldn't find any forum more suitable than this one. Apologies for this retarded thread.

    No, I assume you want to ride him, so you should be good to go.

    I know you're both very hungry, but unfortunately it's against the rules to feed trolls. Sorry lads.

    The Yes vote seems to have left you in quite the pickle.

    Bob is your second cousin. Bob doesn't like you. Neither does his wife. And her sister.

    You are only related to your Uncle's wife not her Sister, you could have a threesome with Bob and the uncle's Wife's Sister

    I never said Bob had a wife.

    BTW, I'm not gay. "Bob" wasn't sure about us being related or not and I told him I'd find out.

    Your uncles wife is your aunt in law but not blood. Her sister is no relation. Her sisters husband is no relation.

    Bob is therefore your uncle. Or no relation. But definitely the latter.

    (Unless you're playing games where your aunts sister married your father, then ****e off).

    Could be two brothers married to two sisters, that would make them his parents.

    Yeah I edited that post. To be fair I think he's not playing that game. If he is -- we know where to find him.

    Seems to me you either are Bob or you're no relation. Or maybe Bob's brother, depending. You haven't told us if your uncle's wife's sister's husband was also your uncle's brother. In which case he could well be your dad. So you'd be Bob. Or Bob's brother. Or sister.

    HTH.

    Let me explain in greater detail.

    There is a family. There are two sisters in that family.
    My uncle married one sister, Bob's uncle married the other.
    If I am related to them, it's through my uncle's marriage. Which is what I'm trying to figure out.

    Maybe I asked the question wrong. I may not be "related" to him, but is Bob a cousin or something like that? Cousin in law? Anything?

    Again, this is NOT a riddle or joke or brainteaser.

    Don't worry. We'll get this sorted. The next step is to see some pictures of the two sisters.

    Yes. All predictions of what is going to cause the human race to die out are wrong. We are all slowly turning inbred.

    Bob is your second-cousin-in-law, once removed.

    There really is no mystery to this.

    Are you sure? Wouldn't we need to come from the same grandparents?

    If ye were both nephews to the Aunt inlaws/ sisters then you two would be cousins. You're sort of cousin inlaws although cousin inlaws are 'cousins of your inlaws'

    Whereas you are both nephews of inlaws.

    What would my aunt in-law's sister be to me? She might not be related to me but there must be a name for it.

    If the person you want to ride didn't live in the same house as you when you were growing up then it is OK.
