What's your heritage?
« on: January 16, 2012, 12:58:43 PM »
Y'all know my roots are Jewish, but I got in me some Polish, Russian, Belorussian, Spanish, Italian, and Bedouin. What about you?

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

My dad's side is all German.  My mom's side is slightly more mixed, my grandfater was Irish and my grandma is Polish.

That makes me 50% German, 25% Irish, and 25% Polish.

My dad is English, from the west country, and as far as I know the family goes back in that area for generation. I think I have a great great grandmother who was Welsh possibly, but that's about it.

My mum is from Cyprus, and both her parents were Morranite rather than Orthodox, and so the racial heritage is Lebanese, rather than Greek.

I don't know any more than that sadly.
