Lineage
How would you like to know where you came from? I mean really came from, from a scientific, I can tell you if you're related to Atilla the Hun and I shit-you-not sort of way?
I was thumbing through an old issue of National Geographic tonight, and I came across an article that's all about tracing ancestory through dna.
Did you know that 8% of all men from central and east Asia are directly descended from Genghis Khan? Think about the populations of China and India for a minute. Kind of puts that statement into perspective, huh?
So for $100 you can send away for a kit, and National Geographic will tell you your maternal lineage, or Paternal lineage (Males only).
I may do this, it sounds pretty cool.

I would be so afraid. I mean, I am genuine mutt stock, and they would probably just throw their hands up in the air and say "I dunno."
I think that sounds cool! If you do it, promise to tell us even if you are related to someone lame. lol
My dad does geneology and has done something similar with some other geneology junkies to see if they're related. I think it's kinda cool.
