Are you a Fallout Boy fan? If so, you need to thank Joe Biden.



A young Pete Wentz is held by Vice-President-elect Joe Biden, as his mother Dale looks on, at the wedding reception of his aunt, Piper Wentz Rothschild, on April 10, 1982 in Wilmington, Del.




-----------------------------

Pete Wentz has Vice-President-elect Joe Biden to thank for being born.


The Fall Out Boy rocker has admitted that he probably wouldn't be alive if it weren't for the newly elected VP because his parents met as legislative assistants to the then-Senator.

"I would not be standing here actually in reality at all because my parents met working for Biden. They met on the campaign, so they have this particular affection for Joe. He came to their wedding

If it weren't for Joe Biden, I would not exist as a human being," the singer said this week.

The expectant father revealed on his blog how his dad once told him: "Mom and I met in Washington when we were both legislative assistants to Sen. Biden, when he was in his first term <1972-78>. I had worked in his campaign, and your mother had been in the foreign service. We started out as friends and the rest is history."



Hehe - how cool is that?

2. if it wasn't for Vladimir Lenin
I wouldn't be here.

My great grandparents met a communist rally at Madison Square Garden in, I'd imagine, sometime in the late 1910's or early 1920's. The rally was headlined by Lenin.

16. I will agree with that. Panic at the disco kicks major butt.
And Ryan Ross is most likley gay and in the closet.

What's your favorite PATD song? Mine is Build God Then We'll Talk from their first CD. I also love Northern Downpour from their second CD.
