wowo..Erasmus was Charles Darwin's grandfather..
NOT brother...

I thought Erasmus was Darwin's grandfather, an evolutionist in his own right....

His brother was named after their grandfather.

I believe Branwell also died standing up, leaning against his mantle while smoking a cigarette, just to prove that he could. I'll see if I can find where I read that...

What a great idea for an article!
We should only write about the siblings of famous people.
I always felt Neil Bush was more interesting than Georgie.

Great article!

You forgot the biggest example of having a more famous sibling, James the brother of Jesus! Yup, The Christ had a brother named James. Plus three other brothers named Joseph, Simon and Judas and three sisters whose names are never mentioned. (sexist much?) Can you imagine being brother to Jesus? "The way Mother treats you you'd think you're the second coming... Oh, right." Just think how confusing it must of been at the old carpentry shop. Bam, you'd hit your thumb with a hammer and yell "Jesus Christ, no not you bro!" Poor James, spending the rest of his life always being hit up for free tickets to the kingdom of heaven. "Yo my man James, can you score me in no questions asked, if you know what I mean." Sitting in a bar muttering insults about his more famous sibling only to have his wine turn into blood. Pity any woman James would marry. "You'd think your brother could of hooked you up with an angel instead of HER." I'd go on, but I think I've dammed myself enough for one day.
