Poll I hate it when someone who doesn't truly appreciate the beauty of automatic doors reaches one in front of me. YOU HAVE ROBBED ME OF MY MOMENT OF AWESOME. (Seriously, if you've never 'opened' an automatic door with a dramatic sweep of the arm, you should try it. You look completely ridiculous, but you feel like the coolest person in the world.)

Interesting fact regarding your tinyfic: relationships between cousins aren't legally incest in the UK, or indeed in most parts of the world. So you may feel free to pair up the Stigs! Perhaps you'll want to find a workaround for American Stig, though.

If incest between cousins is so common in so much of the world, then why are people in the deep south so often referred to as inbred, despite the fact that is not actually all that common around here?

Because there's a cousin/cousin taboo in the US that doesn't exist in most of the rest of the world. I believe cousin/cousin marriages used to be very common in the UK (read Jane Austen's Mansfield Park), especially amongst higher-class families, but lately a stigma against such relationships has been creeping in because, as we get so much American television, many English people don't realise we don't have the same incest laws.
