I was just on lolfbmoments when you posted this, Saj. The transition made me thing I burned it into my mind.

I am thoroughly amused by this.

I just saw a Facebook ad that said: "Atheism not enough for you? Richard Dawkins digs pantheism."

This amuses me on many levels.

I was looking on the British shelf at my grocery store today and I saw a can of "Mushy." Cooking instructions specified "On the Hob." O, you Brits! You do make me smile!!

I got my genetic results back. I can now be in an Adam Sandler song since I am a quarter Jewish (not too shabby).

Alas, though, I am not genetically resistant to HIV. Not that I have a real reason to want to be, but that would have been cool.

Where can I purchase an analysis such as that?

I hear Goldie Hawn's half Jewish.

Right up there with Harrison Ford. Nice. :P

Harrison Ford's part Jewish?  Heh, I never knew that.

Actually, I don't know if he is or not. I was quoting on a verse of the song. :oops:

Where can I purchase an analysis such as that?

I used the service 23 and Me; their main competitor is deCODEme

Unfortunately they aren't particularly cheap (23andMe is around $500 for the ancestry and health analysis, though you can purchases them individually too).  Mine was a Christmas present.

Nor are the services as detailed as one might wish; they look specifically at certain fairly significant genes. 23andMe identified 11 potential disease-causing (or resisting) genetic variations. THere are a lot more than just 11 out there. On the plus side, however, is that as 23andMe develops additional tests, they'll update the status of those who already purchased it. So if in a few months they add a 12 disease gene that they look at, they will update me with if I am at risk or resistant for that. Too note, their health analysis looks at more than just disease risks. But if you want to see your full genome, I'd recommend volunteering for the Personal Genome Project. If you are selected, it's the cheapest way of documenting your DNA.

@Sajainta: Actually, Harrison Ford isn't Jewish, but his mother is fully Jewish.

Jewish in race, or religion? If his mother is fully Jewish he should at least be half, unless she's not his real mother. Though if she is fully Jewish, and he didn't get any Jewish genes, that would be quite amusing and would give the genetic scientists a whole lot to chew on.

D had a dream about CT:DS last night.  There was another Temporal Vortex in each time that you could go to.  They were full of cheerleaders.  These cheerleaders would accompany you on quests and help you fight really, really hard enemies.  The maps were full of treasure chests, but you had to do these ridiculously hard puzzles to get to them.  The cheerleaders would show up on school buses, jump out of the top and say "Hi Crono!  Can you help us?"

D said the dream was so realistic he woke up and looked up DS changes online to see if it was real!  XDXD
