There are some brilliant people in that graph, but I don't claim to be in their league. Thanks, Michael. There are some brilliant people in that graph, but I don’t claim to be in their league.

John, it's stuff like this that separates you from any blog that I read and keeps me coming back. So creative! And such an impressive lineage. I'm sure that mine wouldn't compare. I don't know if anything similar exists for mechanical engineers. It certainly couldn't go back as far if it did. Simply amazing.

To explore my father's academic ancestry, I wrote a little script to crawl the site and create a graph using <a href="http://www.graphviz.org/" rel="nofollow">graphviz</a>. Here's your graph, John, in case you're interested: <a href="http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/hermans/cook.svg" rel="nofollow">http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/hermans/cook.svg</a>.

I can trace my lineage back to Isaac Newton, starting with my Tutor <a href="http://genealogy.math.ndsu.nodak.edu/id.php?id=69859" rel="nofollow">John Wilson</a> who studied at Cambridge - though a little slight of hand is involved because I didn't actually do a PhD! John,
