Weird Connections

[Dr.Strangefate]

The first person who can guess what connects all of the following individuals gets a special prize.

Alec Baldwin, Dane Cook, President George W. Bush, Thomas Pynchon, President John Quincy Adams, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Julia Child, Clint Eastwood, John Lithgow, George McClellan, Ned Lamont, Christopher Reeve, William Rehnquist, Senator Adlai Stevenson, Ambrose Bierce, Sarah Palin, Bing Crosby, Seth MacFarlane, Vice President Dan Quayle, Dick Van Dyke, Marilyn Monroe, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Johnny Carson, Richard Gere, The Wright Brothers, William Jennings Bryan, Henry David Thoreau, President Ulysses S. Grant, Christopher Lloyd, President Zachory Taylor, Amelia Earhart, Orson Welles, Astronaut Alan Shepard, President James Garfield, Mormon Founder Joseph Smith, "Wild Bill" Hickok, and Beach Boy Brian Carl.

This is not a joke. There is something concrete that directly relates all these individuals.

Man, I wish. I am not connected to that many cool and or historic people.

They are all members of a secret order that is foretold to play a great part in the upcoming apocalypse.

Aside from that, obviously.

 

[Iceshadow]

They were all injured in a horse riding accident.

 

[Foolsfolly]

Cliff Clavin. Try to disprove that!

 

[ProjectX2]

They're all robots.

Or they're all involved in conspiracies.

 

[Foolsfolly]

They are or were human beings!

 

[Jaggyd]

My guess is, they've all been connected to Connecticut.

or Baseball

 

[Ultimate Houde]

All funny?

Wait, Palin is in that list.

Republicans.

All appear on a list posted by Dr. Strangefate on Ultimate Central.

Where's my prize?

They're all decendants of the Mayflower.

You are a *****, but that is the correct answer.

Isn't that ****ing weird????

 

[McCheese]

You are a *****, but that is the correct answer.

Is my prize being called a *****? Cause I'll be honest, I've won better prizes in my time.

Isn't that ****ing weird????

Yes.

How can FDR be on the list but not Teddy? What relative was their connection?

I think either cousins or FDR was a nephew something along those lines

 

[Iceshadow]

McCheese was right. Dammit.

How can FDR be on the list but not Teddy? What relative was their connection?

EDIT: Here it says they were fifth cousins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roosevelt_family.

I don't think they were related, they just had the same last name.

I'm certain they were, it just is a very direct relation

Yeah, I edited my post after some lazy research.
