[edit] Why so many userboxes?

I'm in this little competiton of sorts with Odin(Reborn) to see who can put more truthful userboxes on our pages (not really!). He currently has 183.I only have 176, so I have some work to do!

[edit] In regards to the unusually large number of ancestry userboxes...

My bloodline is helter-scelter. My father's paternal tree has English and Scottish spattered together, and his maternal tree has German that could be mixed with just about anything else - I don't know for sure. My mother's paternal tree has mostly Irish with some French or Dutch, a little Mohawk and some English mixed in, and her maternal tree has Norman mixed mostly with English but could probably also be just about anything else - again, I don't know. The blanks could literally be anything. Note that the Norman connection makes me of some Scandinavian stock - the Normans were the descendants of Vikings that settled in northern France.

I'll eat just about anything, so long as there's no margarine in it. Margarine is full of poisonous trans fat and you probably don't want to poison yourself. Cool Whip, on the other hand, is perfectly safe to eat, though I still prefer the taste of real whipped cream.

According to a morality test I took at the website on the other side of this link, I'm 71% liberal and 29% conservative. Once I register to vote, I'll go blue and more than likely vote straight Democrat (very little of what the Republicans have to say appeals to me, especially when those Republicans vote with this moron in the White House. I wish he would do us all a favor and sprout a brain!)

There's the $1,000,000 Question!!! I really don't know! Whoever can tell me that should be given a Nobel Prize!
