    Someone told me once that my ancestors were horny and not that picky.

    The legend says that Mohammed adored cats. When one of them was sleeping on his sleeve and he had to go out, Mohammed supposedly cut off the sleeve so as not to disturb his pet.

    My dad is 1/2 Irish and 1/2 Swedish...that's definite.
    My mom at the surface is 1/2 German and 1/2 English
    Wow, Mugsy, that's exactly MY special blend! How weird!

    I know nothing about my father and not a lot about my mothers side. What I do know is my Grandfather was born in England, my Grandmother was born in Wales. My Mother was born in India, (while my Grandfather was in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers and was stationed there, my Grandmother is also buried there) and I was born in Wales.
    I do know that some of my Granfathers family emigrated to Canado a long while ago, so, if there is anyone named Markey out there in PetTalk land, we could be related! LOL

    I only speak English, though I do know a couple of words in Welsh. I was taught it in school but forgot most of it, should have followed it up really.

    50% Finnish 50% Swedish

    My dad is Swedish (lives in Sweden too),
    and my mom is Finnish.

    But I definitely consider myself 100% Finnish

    And I can speak Finnish (of course), Swedish, English and a little bit of German

    All I know is I have a little bit of Swedish in me. My great great great great great great great great (or something like that) grandfather used to be King so we have *incest in us, I think he married his Sister or Aunt

    I speak Spanish and sign language, I don't know if that counts. I'm real good at sign language, but spanish, not my thing
