Aline Factiods

Did you know...

266 Aline is a fairly large Main belt asteroid. It is a dark C-type asteroid and is probably composed of primitive carbonaceous chondrites.

Fluent in the Italian, Spanish, English, and the French languages, Aline Chrétien has been active in a number of charitable organizations over the years since her husband was first elected to the Canadian House of Commons in 1963.

Aline Kominsky-Crumb (1948- ) is an underground comix artist most famous for her autobiographical stories of growing up in Long Island, New York during the 1960s. In these stories she refers to herself as 'The Bunch', a nickname she was apparently given as a child. She was born Aline Goldsmith to a middle class Jewish family (Noomin, 1991). The superficial nouveau riche culture that she grew up in and the constant bickering of her parents led her to turn towards drugs, the counterculture and Greenwich Village as a teenager. Instead of going to therapy, she draws comic books about her life. She is married to the famous underground comic artist Robert Crumb. She wrote "Dirty Laundry," a comic about the Crumb family life, with her husband and later with their daughter Sophie Crumb. Each of them drew his or her own characters for the comic.

Aline Lahoud, born 2nd March 1981, is a Lebanese singer, and the daughter of well-known singer Salwa Katrib.

Aline is a town located in Alfalfa County, Oklahoma. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 214.

Aline MacMahon (May 3, 1899-October 12, 1991) was an Oscar-nominated American actress. (nominated for her role in Dragon Seed)

Aline et Valcour; ou, Le Roman philosophique is an epistolary novel by the Marquis De Sade, first published in 1795. This was the first book published under his true name. In his novel, de Sade contrasts a brutal African kingdom with a utopian island paradise in the South Pacific.

AAAAAAAAAnnnnnnnddddddd, the best website of all, Aline on Wikipedia!

So basically, I'm an asteroid, the wife of some special Canadian guy, an underground comic artist, lebanese singer, tiny hick town, actress and novel.
