Software to generate "FUN FACTS"

Software to generate "FUN FACTS"

I'm looking for a program to use my GEDCOM file to generate some trivia reports, such as "this day in family history" or name frequency etc. I think the old PAF programs used to do some of these. I don't want to change my family trees genealogy info away from Family Tree Maker, but I would like to be able to generate some "fun" reports for family members.

Any suggestions?

I'm looking for this as well. So far, only Gramps seems to have it. Google Gramplets and you'll see the statistics they offer.

Gramps does looks as if it's going to eventually exceed FTM, realizing the folks at FTM have access to the Gramps source code as well so maybe not.

Put a 'family fun fact' that I'm interested in is which is these is considered the 'closer related relative':

1st Cousin 6x removed

or

3rd Cousin 4x removed

or

4th Cousin 3x removed (or is there even such a thing as a 4th cousin? I've never heard that term)

Thanks.
