"...oh how I wished '23andMe' existed *before* I married my sister - and we dated for a long time before we found out!"
Can you even imagine the most remote chance of something like that occurring?! Worse than that would be finding out well over half the neighborhood is related to you. Well, it happens, doncha know. *I'm* pretty sure we even have members on this board who have wanted to come out and speak the truth about this...but I don't want to know who they are or why they didn't say anything when we were younger...

I'm not sure what to make of the "52.4% Shared DNA" claim.
Heck, even chimpanzees share 98.8% of human DNA. It raises the question what the other 47.6% is. |

Wait a minute - maybe chimps share 98.8% of YOUR DNA (how did you escape?)...but no - not mine.

WOW!
My brother, the MensaLegalWolf is up at The Estate In The Swamp handling fambly issues and, as always, scaring the crap outta me. He's 6 years younger than me and we were just talking about '23andMe' when he says 'THAT isn't EVERY happening with him'. They keep your 'de-identified' DNA and YOU agree to it. He started citing means where a person could actually put their professional future at risk. He also says no matter what you read or what they say, DON'T YOU BELIEVE THEM! All the hubbub, Bub, has me thinking even though they are publicly traded, the Mormons or Church of Scientology could swoop right in and gobble them up...and then it's all too late. |

Betting there's a sperm bank located in that town. There was a Doctor in the news a few years ago who replaced customers' orders with his own secretions. I think they traced about 40 kids back to him...

The real question is, who cares about your DNA? Like really, why is it such a big concern now? This and Ancestry is just a load of crock. Unless you're 100 years old, ask your parents about your DNA if you're so interested in it. They'll tell you.

My sister had it done and sent me the results.
It was pretty interesting. Told me some things about my ancestry that I had no idea about. I've got the pic on my other computer. Maybe I'll post it here. |

My brother is one of those psych legal beagles, like Dr. Wong on Law & Order. A stinkin' walkin' nightmare.
He won't do it because it might prove he is related to me, even though he looks like a slightly-retarted version of me. He also doesn't believe anyone should retain your DNA unless you get arrested.

You have to be retarded to so desperately need to know your heritage that you would send your DNA to some faceless people in a lab somewhere who, most likely, are paid to share it with the NSA, CIA, FBI and other surveillance agencies

I don't understand this commercial. It's just showing a bunch of shared DNA while the guy talks about how his celebrations have gotten bigger. Does he just go online and invite random people to dinner?

These companies make it sound like sending in your DNA is going to magically make your long-lost relatives appear! What kind of malarkey is that?

I sort of misspoke and realize my error with your post. When I said, who really cares about your DNA, what I meant is, why are people as individuals so concerned about their DNA? Take me for example, I know what I am, and honestly, why does it concern me so much? It doesn't. Even if it did, I'm not going to go dressing up like some freak and then calling myself the most beautiful thing I've ever seen (I think that one was ancestry). Or buying a kilt. To me, life goes on no matter what you are! However.......you completely hit the nail on the head with YOUR post. Sounds like another way of opening yourself up deeper just to have it be turned against you. |

Now, as a seriously incurable history buff ~and~ of a royal lineage, *I* would like to let them analyze *my* because I am positive they will find a little 'Alf' as they trace me directly back to 'The Big J Dude' - you know who I am talking about - the guy who has a birthday is coming up? Ya see, I just want a lil'proof so I can market my gold & burgundy cheap-azz 'J-Man & PW' basketball shoes/shirts & shorts before his birthday. Get yer bitcoins out my chilluns.
My late aunt had 1/2 of her house pretty much looking like a library. Our family history, my late, great Sis helped and was going to take it over. The Missus had her family also going back quite a way and it remains in our archives. SOMEONE in the fam still can tell the history of every side, all it takes is a trip to ChiTown. We decided to keep a place anyone could go to learn about our superior fambly. Stinkin' Mormons copied us. doncha know... NOT one of our relatives but SHOULD HAVE USED '23&Me' before going on TheIdiotBox |

No need to worry about them showing up. Unless you have lots of money... And of course, those people trying to avoid their relatives probably shouldn't send in any DNA...

These commercials confuse me too. First there was the one at Thanksgiving time where the old guy is like, "Our Thanksgiving table used to be so small, now look how big it's gotten!" (Or something to that effect). Now, it's the same thing for Christmas.
Like, are people really calling up their 3rd and 4th cousins who are most likely complete strangers and inviting them over for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner? LOL. That would be really sad and desperate! Not to mention AWKWARD....

Did someone say 'Free Feast'?! They can call me - as long as there's a good cook in the family, I can be that 'Long Lost Uncle' from the Northern Wilderness... Long time no see, PDP! Welcome back.

Sure, no problem Wolf! We'll leave a bowl (of leftovers) outside for you! You know, Wolf diet stuff - like bones left over from the standing rib roast. And people say I don't have a heart! Geez. |

Don't forget the uneaten plate scrapings, too!!! The gloppy, gooey, mixed together mish-mosh of peas, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, dressing, fat trimmings, discarded skin, half eaten dinner rolls, etc, etc, all mixed with traces of the saliva of the people who were eating it to begin with. All the stuff that was destined for the garbage disposal. Don't be selfish and deprive Pa of all that good slop!!! |
