Well, I'll just mention something I learned the other day.
Remember Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth.
Here's a weird geneological tidbit about this guy. His sister was Finduilas, wife of Denethor and mother of Boromir and Faramir. Now, Imrahil's daughter Lothiriel apparently married King Eomer of the Mark after the WR. Now, Eomer is Eowyn's brother, Eowyn married Faramir, who is the step-nephew of Imrahil.
Once you put 2 and 2 together, you realize:
Imrahil is Eomer's step-father and step-uncle. Weird.
