That site, somehow, managed to suggest my late brother and his wife, and my brother's daughters. The only things we have in common are our last names, and even then, he used both last names while I only used the one.

I NEVER contacted either one via the internet. In fact, they have no idea what the hell I actually get to down here. Nobody except a cousin / niece who is basically my kid sister knows about these things I'm into. Strangely (or thankfully) it didn't try matching me up with all the people from college who hated my guts.

Facebook is freaky.
