Irish Couple Discover They Are Siblings

The couple, who grew up in separate towns about 100 miles apart, were adults before they met. DNA testing last month revealed they share the same father.

This might mess up the family's pedigree chart.

Statistically, this was bound to happen sooner or later and probably has happened before. The odds are similar to that of winning the lottery.
