UW, Maybe they don't do arithmetic and science in the military, but it was great grandfather and we have 8 great grandparents [outside the Banjo zone and Pitcairn Island]. So, only 12% French [and remember, about 1:5 children don't really have the father they think they have so maybe I have no French in me].

Are your antennae really so attuned to fine pitch in language? You don't think you were thrown by the label "Maurice"?

We'd need to give you a double-blind test with somebody called Akihiko or Kumara and see if you could still spot the French verbs.

I think I detect a good dose of German in your attitude! I'd say about, um, [without reviewing the data], 37%, with a subtle hint of Irish, 15%, a hefty bouquet of English [of the working class - perhaps northern coal-mining aroma], 42%, and unoaked fruity flavours in Beaujolais style with a little inimitable piquancy from, ah, je ne sais quoi.

Meanwhile, DON'T VOTE!!! unless you know what you want and why. Instead, see "Team America: World Police". Hilarious! sfgate.com So the young ones say anyway, though Sean Penn got in a snit. I haven't seen it. South Park never seemed of interest to me, so I'd probably skip "Team Spirit".
