Moms form Glasgow and Dads form Belfast. ToastyX 04-15-2002, 07:44 AM I hate this question because it's hard for me to answer. I was born and raised in the United States, my mother was born and raised in Korea but has some Japanese background, and my dad was born and raised in Puerto Rico. So what does that make me, a Puertoreanese-American? :D I could be much more. I haven't looked into my family's history much. diederik 04-15-2002, 07:45 AM I'm born in Holland and still live there :D p1net 04-15-2002, 07:45 AM I am Irish!! :D :D mahinder 04-15-2002, 07:50 AM I am Sindhi - Hindhu.

Are you telling me that Adam and Eve were Indian? Interesting theory. Actually, Adam and Eve should have been born at least 250 million years ago, where all earth's continents formed one single landmass. So, there are plenty of time for their children and grandchildrens to travel to India. :) If not, how come native americans were able to travel to america but were 'discovered' years later again. Abu Mami 04-19-2002, 07:02 AM Originally posted by priyadi If not, how come native americans were able to travel to america but were 'discovered' years later again.

Everyone else was born from humans...:D MotleyFool 08-28-2002, 06:41 AM Sorry to dig up a very old thread! But Abu, India has a recorded history of 5000 years. We read literature in schools that is over 2000 years old. I will quote you a couplet that is over 2500 years old: "Action is always done by the body and never by the mind. The same hand that embraces the daughter embraces the wife!" edude 08-28-2002, 06:57 AM Well i'm from the country where adam and eve came from ;) Guess :confused: MotleyFool 08-28-2002, 07:20 AM mmmm.... Arabia? Africa? America? LOL edude 08-28-2002, 07:50 AM LOL.. Err comon you dont know your history? well cross out Africa, America, its somewhere in Arabia :D Deb 08-28-2002, 08:14 AM God was just about done creating the universe, but he had two extra things left over in his bag so he decided to split them between Adam and Eve. He told them that one of the things he had left was a thing that would allow the owner to pee while standing up. "It's a very handy thing," God told them, "and I was wondering if either one of you would like that." Well… Adam jumped up and down and begged, "Oh, give that to me! I'd LOVE to be able to do that! Please. Please! Pleeease! Give it to me." On and on he went like an excited little boy. Eve just smiled and told God that if Adam really wanted it so badly, he should have it. So God gave Adam the ability to pee while standing up, and he was so excited. He went off to write his name in the sand, laughing with delight all the while. God and Eve watched him for a moment and then God said to Eve, "Well, here's the other thing I have left over. You can have IT." What's it called?" Eve asked. "Brains", said God. ----- I'm guessing Iraq ? ubergeek22 08-28-2002, 08:23 AM Deb, I've heard a slightly cruder version of that where Eve recieves the ability to have multiple orgasms ;) Moving swiftly on, I'm half Irish, half Welsh (living in England) Deb 08-28-2002, 09:03 AM Oh forgot to answer the original question lol... wouldn't want to be seen as off-topic or anything :stickout 50% German, 40% French, 10% Polish -- add those three things together and you get a Conceited, Hot Tempered, Foolish Female; otherwise known as an "All American Gal" :D freehtml 08-28-2002, 09:13 AM I am from Singapore Thats makes me a Singaporean Bannaz 08-28-2002, 09:36 AM English. :) shaunewing 08-28-2002, 10:17 AM Australian here with mainly English background.

I AM CANADIAN Americans, little history lesson. :-) In the War of 1812, we kicked your butts. The reason why your Whitehouse is white is because we set fire to it and it was whitewashed to hide the damage (for propaganda purposes). The west wing was almost completely gutted. Some Americans will say that THEY won the war. However, to win, a party must reach their objective. Your objective was to take over British North America (what Canada was called then), our goal was to stop you. You don't have any more northern territory along the Canada/US border than you did before 1812. So who won?
