Meh - Malthus is now Ukrainian-by-marriage anyways. :hug:

I thought Judaism is Matrilineal.
It is.  But the birth parents of the 'false' Jew were both Irish Catholics.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Last night, I met an Israeli guy. I mentioned that I had been to Israel and thought it was amazing. He said that a lot of people that go to Israel for birthright are deeply moved. I told him I'm not jewish, and only went because I was looking for a place to go and flights to Israel were deeply discounted. He replied, "are you sure you aren't jewish?"

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Do you know why Jewish men are circumcised?  Because Jewish women won't touch anything at least 10% off.

At least, it's pretty easy to get to Moscow. Unlike travels to Sochi or Saransk, unless one is Depardieu.  :P
