I was like, can't everyone smell that? it does a percentage on what your chances are you have a gene that sneezes when looking at the sun as well.

It is interesting for sure, but $200 is a lot. They used to say your cancer chances and things, but they had to get rid of that. I'm surprised they still offer the genetic disease carrier list.

It's tough to get through but you will feel so much better after you've been off butts for a little while. I quit nearly 16 years ago and never looked back. Everything tastes better too! Not to mention the $10/pack you save! Put your cig $$$ in a jar somewhere for 3 months or so and then go buy yourself a nice piece of gear! Why'd they get rid of it?

Yeah, it's probably good for you then. I know most of my genetic history and heritage already, but it'd still be cool to see how much of it's true/accurate. Genetics are really interesting, and so odd. I'm 75% eastern European, and am as much American Indian as I am Irish, but I look 100% Irish. Really pale and light strawberry blond hair. Odd how that works out. Edited May 25, 2016 by Thomas³ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my dad being adopted, it'd be a good idea for me as well. I might have to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it break down the countries? As I said, Genetics are weird. I'm 25% Italian 25% Slovak 25% Macedonian ~ rest is a mix of Irish, German, English, American Indian and French.

It's crazy to think you have ancestors from all over the world like that. I'd do it if I had the money right now. I'd love to see how true mine is, since I kinda doubt I'm really American Indian, and all the other weird things I've been told. "Supposedly" I am related to Bloody Mary on my British side, and the American Indian is Sioux. Both seem made up to me.

Woah, let's not get all logical in here John. Maybe some people prefer to spend more money on pitchers! I was actually planning on doing just that.
