Had my DNA tested by 23andme and got the results back over the weekend.

I belong to the R0 maternal haplogroup, which is common in the middle east but apparently very rare in Europe.  Am I: crypto Muslim.

Also, 23andme thinks I am more British than German.  WRONG!

A friend of mine found out she had zero Native American ancestry and she's devastated.  She used to go around telling people how spiritual she was because of her "Indian blood".

:lol:

How does she explain away the bit of African ancestry she found instead? :)

Well, she's all aboard the Irish train now that she got a certain % Ireland/Scotland/Wales.  I gently informed her that since she's from Eastern Kentucky and has deep roots there, that is probably more Scottish/Scotch-Irish than anything but she's not having it.  She's making big plans for St. Patrick's Day.

Who said you can't be Scotch-Irish and have big plans on March 17? :shifty:

I used to say that, but since hardly anyone else ever does I decided to go with the flow.

Scots-Irish = barbarian border reivers and cattle rustlers.
Irish-Irish = peaceful pious mud farmers.

I've always used Scotch Irish and I'm not changing now.

Scotch is the adjectival form.  It's modifying Irish.
