If youve ever wanted a way to make sure you dont unwittingly date one of your family members then a new app has been released just for you.
The piece of software was developed in Iceland to make sure you and your potential partner are not from the same family tree.
The Islendingabók app allows you to test how closely youre related to your date by simply bumping your phones together.
The Android programme includes information on 720,000 people and will hopefully help the users avoid the possibility of inbreeding.
But it unfortunately came too late for one person who left a message on the apps website, declaring: If Id had this in earlier, maybe I would not go home with my aunt.
So as the tagline for the app says, make sure you bump the app before you bump in bed, otherwise you could find yourself in an awkward situation with a long lost relative.
Maybe...
iPhone users, however, can go [CENSORED] their sisters.

I predict that this will be a very popular app with the arabs. Not to *avoid* inbreeding, though..
I’m an only child...
Hey, those suicide vests aren’t going to detonate themselves.
I heard the app is banned down south
Who wants to bust up perfectly good marriages?
Seriously, this is supposed to be a real problem in Iceland. I have read that virtually all native Icelanders are related to each other to a much higher degree than in any other country - their DNA has been studied quite a bit recently.
well, the population is about 120,000 I think and is geographically isolated
This may sound funny, but for foster and adopted kids, it’s a real issue.
I was raised in Foster Care and had very little knowledge about my biological relatives.
I made sure whoever I dated was clear about their own parentage.
This is bad, real bad! I just checked and my wife and I have the same phone number.
“Your honor, I’m here because I just found out that my wife and I are related by marriage.”
Democrats & other liberals say as long as you "love each other," then everybody else needs to buckle down & sanction your "love" lifestyle...whatever it might be.
Democrats & other libs therefore support:
Sibling "marriage"
Family (group) "marriage"
Any mix-and-match combo you can think of...
Because of the open-ended reasons they give for supporting same-sex "marriage"

Relative - Schmelative. I'm hitting that.
Best pickup line for foreigners visiting Iceland:
“Hi, I’m < name >, and we’re not related. Can I buy you a drink?”
I think I’d be okay. AFAIK, I don’t have any Icelandic ancestors...
Hadn’t really thought of that end of it.
