So there's this thing, called 23andMe. It's company that will mail you out a kit to collect a DNA sample, you return it, and in a few weeks they'll give you a medical and genealogical breakdown of your DNA.
Normally these kits are $Texas, with a Medical Report being $399 and a genealogy one being $429. However, since today is apparently Worldwide DNA Day, they're selling the complete kit ($499), with both reports for only $99.
This was pretty cool-sounding to me, since I know very little of my ancestry and the health data could be useful, and so I figured I'd let folks know about it, and perhaps if anybody else gets one we can see how horribly prone to illness we all are or that we're related to Hitler.
Or we could talk about interesting or notable members of our families!
Oh dang. Apparently it's only on sale for about another hour (5PM PDT.)

DNA stuff might be helpful for seeing what you are predisposed to though.

Yeah, you'd think so. If you send your samples out to three different places you might find that it's no so true.
oh what
dude do not spend iPad money on DNA sequencing
if you die at least you'll die with an iPad
wanna buy a netbook?
(besides, I'll just wait for the next gen, almost never pays off to be an early adopter)
you go back far enough and most people will be related to most people

yeah, but you only have to go back 800 years for the Khaans.
Motherfuckers loved raping.
GoFund The Portland Trans Pride March, or Show It To People, or Else!
and if you go south far enough everyone will be related to everyone
CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP
Oh, so now saying that I want to wear your skin is at least slightly justified.
whatever, mario
haha. I was thinking about maybe seeing how long I could go just using that as my only reply to your posts
but then I was like "nahhhhhh."
Thats what DNA sequencing does right? Like in Assassin's Creed?
Also, when she asked for a spit sample, I thought it funny that none of them questioned her.
SWEET JESUS
things like this are routine when you have scientists in your family
They used the hardest fucking science to determine this.
They went to like Mongolia or some shit, and asked people, "Yo, you related to Genghis Kahn?" If they said "yes" then they stole their blood and compared it all and were like "HOLY SHIT MANG THEIR DNAS GOT THIS SHIT IN COMMON" and now everybody's related to Genghis Kahn, scientifically.
i am a direct descendant of my own grandfather
I would get a tattoo, but it's already permanent.
