Well according to historians, about half of all Norwegians (meaning also millions of Americans, British etc.) relate to the viking king Harald Hårfagre (Harold Fairhair?). Isn't that so, Ula? :P Rumour has it he got around... :rotfl: He lived about a 1000 years ago, btw.
Seriously, I think I've read somewhere that if we 'count' backwards in time just a few thousand generations, there were so few people in the world that it appears we are all related...
Meaning - I think - that the family lines have had to cross each other several times to be able to generate the number of citizens on Earth now.
So indeed we are all neighbors, and the original poll should only have 1 alternative: Earth!
Then again, maybe the 'bacteria' that contained the 'base' for life on Earth came with comets like the water, but we can take that in another discussion... :rotfl:
Sorry for drifting completely away from the topic.
Couldn't stop myself... (counting down to a weekend of playing SH3).
