This is one of those threads where people patiently write out a whole posts, only to have no-one reply. Everyone else is busy writing their own! So I'll do some concise replies to the latest entries so that you honeys won't feel your typing skills have gone to waste. :wink:

:lol: That cracked me up! It's simultaneously gross and cute. But much more cute than gross. :P You cute Puerto Rican you!

This is confusing. Why would extra weight prevent you from floating? I'm very overweight (I'm tall so most people don't think I'm that fat, but the sad truth is I'm almost obese - even if it's not obvious) and I can still float. Technically, fat should make you more buoyant.

Glad to see you've since then been efficiently digested and smoothly travelling through your mother's circulatory system. You've honourably provided her with many carbohydrates, proteins, minerals and vitamins.

Watch out for that rogue red blood cell!

Ugh! :x That happened to me too! I joined in 2006 (when I discovered the forum), but it's probable I'd been visiting the site since 2003.

To think, had I used my eyes earlier I'd be a UD veteran by now, and have the automatic right to use my seniority for writing snarky and snobbish comments and belittling newbies! :P I kid! I kid!
I'm half black (WHOA I AM)
I knew this already but it still fascinates me since you look like a white dude, and so does your younger brother! :)

Genetics and ethnicity are so unpredictable. In Malta we have a mixed ethnic history due to the country having been occupied by the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, the French and the British amongst others. Consequently, during the last 500 years the locals have married and had kids with foreigners, and it shows. Though we're Mediterranean you see people with varying complexions. Some are slightly tanned, like me (i.e. white in skin colour but not as pale as say, a British or (to an extreme) a Scandinavian), others are a little paler, and we even have people who are outright blonde, freckly and very very white. If you look at the faces you see an almost Arabic look in some, Italian features in others, and everything else outside that and in between.

Damn, we're one messed up cocktail!

That sucks. :x Although through everyday life one ear is really enough to get you through the day, it obviously spoils the possibilites of e.g. surround sound when viewing movies - and with us being into movies and all - that's sort of a shame. :(

I believe we have another UD user whose deaf from one ear: numba1lostboy.

I'm an Aspie too. And DON'T wiki it, there are too many stereotypes. Instead, either visit:http://www.wrongplanet.net/ or read this book:http://www.amazon.com/Asperger-Syndrome ... 459&sr=8-5

I have a mixed race cousin and his skin isn't that dark, that's probably because he is only 1/4 black and 3/4 caucasian. There is also someone I know of (one of my sister's friend) who is mixed race (again 1/4 black) and you would never have guessed because his features, hair and skin are like that of a caucasian, however he does tan well and has quite olive skin but so does my other sister and she isn't black at all. It's amazing how genetics can be stronger on a specific side, I remember in the paper a woman giving birth to two mixed race twins and one had white skin and the other had darker.

So which side do you have black heritage Mike, is it your Mother's side or your Dad's...?

Random fact:


Lately whenever someone I dislike posts, as I'm clicking to see what they wrote I usually think something along the lines of: "Let's see this f***ing pearl of wisdom" :lol:

My dad's side he's really dark, like midnight dark, and my mom is a twin so she has really strong gentic traits. Me father and I don't share too many similar qualities outside of being .

My brother however shares a lot more traits than my me, he has various birth mark colors on his skin like my father, and suffers from slight *slight* Vitiligo like my father.

I got my own car yesterday!!! Which is a huge, huge deal to me since I haven't had a car of my own since mine broke down over two years ago.

Yay, no more being stranded at home!!! I can take myself wherever I need and no longer have to rely on someone else for transportation. And it's an automatic, thank god! :D

I have a plastic tube from my skull to my stomach. :)
Man has a dream
And that's the start
He follows his dream
With mind and heart
And when it becomes a reality
It's a dream come true
For you and me!

I just avoid them because I don't want to get annoyed (and engage in a "My opinion>your opinion" argument)

On Facebook a friend of mine has been doing nothing but post about him being laid off. I would be sad if it wasn't for the fact that he is already working as a teacher at an University, so now he is just complaining for the hell of it >.<
