The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Lady Smart Hero is a Daughter of the American Revolution and their last name was given to them by a Danish king.
I was really on the fence about getting the 23andMe. But, like shown here, I know a lot about my family. We have records back to the Revolutionary War showing loans being repaid and deeds to property for my mom's side. We have immigration records for both my mom's father's family, and for my father's family. We have so many different stories about where we came from that, at least now, I don't need to spend the $99.
Hopefully they'll do this sale again next year. It is something I am interested in, but it's also money that can be used somewhere else.
Obamacare is going to take all of the white people DNA and create a disease that will wipe us off the planet to create a socialist and black America.
I'd love to try this out, my grandmother was adopted, but man even with their sale today, $99 is still too much to spend to satisfy a curiosity.
Maybe when it's closer to the future and this is cheaper.

noo, my white women!
I'm tellin you, it's gonna happen unless we vote for Palin/Bachmann 2012.
i remember hearing about this in radiolab! apparently like half the world's population is related to the kahns
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.
Aw dang. I'm sad I missed this... My mom's been wanting to do DNA testing on a few members of the family for a while now. Could have done it for at least one person for $99.
we know from family records and letters that three brothers on my dad's side of the family fought at gettysburg and petersburg with the Iron Brigade during the civil war. some other stuff indicates that one of their ancestors fought with a connecticut regiment during the American Revolution
and my dad's best guess as to the first person in our ancestry to come to America was a lutheran minister from somewhere in germany in the late 1600s
i think that kind of stuff is really cool, if only to have a personal connection to historical events
I don't have enough family for genealogy. A lot of my relatives are what I like to think of as "Schrodinger's Aunt": alive or dead? Who knows!
But. My interesting family history:
1. Some ancestors homesteading in Indiana in the early 19th century. Built a lean-to, survived the winter, Little House on the Prairie stuff. I'm descended from the brother who stayed; another brother kept going west and married an Indian princess named Morning Star.
His sister went to Spokane alone and started a tavern. She must have been one tough lady.
2. My great-grandmother on the other side was Kaiser Franz Joseph's pastry chef. Dessert runs strong in my family.
3. My great-grandfather fought in the Spanish-American war, got a cannonball through his belly when he was standing in front of his own cannon and some dumbass lit the fuse, survived the wound, and went back again to fight in WWI. He then stayed in Paris, going to med school and living the high life; he bought a motorcycle and went back home to be the coolest, most cosmopolitan biker dude in Rossville, Indiana.
Also. For those of you with Mongol heritage: Kahn =\= Khan. If only Khans were Kahns... but that might be an unspeakable confluence of pushy mothers.

I snap you like twig
The haven of distance is vastly underrated
It keeps my pale, scrawny limbs attached to my torso
Big fan of the haven of distance over here.

You know I realized I keep hearing this from giantesses lately.
I'm either doing something horribly wrong or horribly right.

Still kind of cool though.
Actually as terrible as it is I don't think I've gained any weight since I was 14

I've done more of the opposite. Now I finally weigh what I should have at 14!
Hooray!
I've gained only a little weight, but converted alot of fat so I am now more muscley & leaner. Still, only 58kg.
It's nice, because I was super scrawny before, at around 55.
