[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2947018, member: 10465"] My wife and I each got this cool DNA kit from Ancestry.com for Christmas. Basically, you spit in this test tube they provide and then you send it back to them in a pre-paid mailer that's also part of the kit. It takes a few weeks to have them analyze your DNA then you will get a breakdown of your ethnicity; it tells you what makes you ... "you" from an ethnic/DNA standpoint anyway. A friend of mine did it and man, was he ever surprised to find out he wasn't [I]exactly[/I] what he though the was! He was always going on and on about being "Italian"... "[I]blah blah blah, I like-a da spaghetti anna da pizza 'cause I'm-a Italian, blah blah blah my Grandmother make-a da besta meatball 'cause she is da Italian."[/I] (Guy thought he was Tony Soprano or something I guess). Anyway, I have always just thought of myself just as a "Caucasian" so that's what I usually check on whatever form I am filling out. Sometimes I just put "non-racial human bean" if there's a place for "other." Anybody here done this DNA kit? If so, were you surprised? Or just validated? Or just curious? [/QUOTE]
