LOL. Actually, I know what you mean. I think there are a large number of factors in our physiognomy that act to determine our behavior in reaction to the environment around us. I think that there are enough variables in the equation, that most of us actually believe we have complete freedom of will to make decisions, when in fact our decisions and actions may be pre-ordained by how we've been shaped by our experiences and environment, as well as quirks of our physical makeup. I'm not saying we are completely devoid of free will, but I'd bet, if we had the science to really get to the heart of the matter, we'd find out that we have less free will than we think.
