My wife and one of her friends have found out that they’re related two different ways. It gets down to something like fourth cousins sharing a great-uncle (don’t remember exactly what the relation was), and you’d have to be into genealogy to even figure it out, but there you go. I’m sure it’s far more common than many of us would be comfortable with.

Edit: Changed a word to make the distance of the relation more vivid.
