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.

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