    That's so funny... I was just going to post this one! As I to am a member of the BlueEyed Ones...
    This story brings to mind the likes of Adolf H. Who probably knew full well the story we are sharing. It would appear that he had plenty of interest concerning ALL versions of history, or as I like to call it- "His-Story", and he pursued such information, to a sick degree...
    So the Question remains... what, or who, is the forefather of all us Blueies? And what of the so called "BlueBloods"? Any connection there?

      <<And what of the so called "BlueBloods"? Any connection there? >>


      "This expression is said to have originated in Spain to differentiate people with very pale skin (i.e., European) from those with Moorish or Jewish ancestory. For people with pale complexions, blood vessals appear to have a blue tint. "

        "Blue blood" is from the European monarchy, that was incestuous and inbred.
        They all had Haemaophilia, meaning there blood doesn't clot, from lack of iron.
        Iron is what makes blood red (oxidization-rust). Blue blood is returning to the lungs to get more oxygen, which bonds with the iron, making the cell turn red.
        Queen Vuctoria had it, and passed it on to most of the royalty in Europe. Prince Charles is a haemophiliac.
        Its an inherited, recessive trait, and recessive traits only become dominant in a population as a result of inbreeding.
        Blond haired, blue eyed, or left-handed people are inbred.

          "_or_ left handed?"

          I'll have you know that I'm left-handed, and my parents hardly ever groped their near relatives at the most drunken parties, much less procreated with them.

            And Mommy, if you get divorced from Daddy, do we still call you Mom and Dad, or do we call you Aunt Betty and Uncle Jack????

            Shit. Does this mean I can't date that blue-eyed hottie down the street? And we'd have had such cute kids- twelve toes, overbite and all.

            "Left handed"????

            Webbing between fingers and toes? Yes, yer prolly inbred. Hemophilia? Often. Lantern-jawed Spanish royals painted by Velasquez? No question. Dwarfism? Someone's almost certainly been diddlin' their close relatives again. But I'd be interested in seeing some PRIMARY (hell, even secondary) source info supporting that claim that left-handed folks is inbred as you hillbillies in West Virginia (and who named a state notorious for children born "on the left side of the bed" - meaning resulting from either adulterous or inbreeding- after a VIRGIN?!?!?".

            According to some VERY rigorous investigative work laid out in, among other places, the book "The Left-Hander Syndrome" (which reevaluated the massive amounts of data from MANY studies that also recorded handedness), inbreeding has apparently nothing to do with left-handedness. Pre- peri- and post-natal trauma (whether resulting in physical brain injury or O2 deprivation for a time) seemed to be the primary common factor involved, but then again "very strong correlation" is not necessarily "cause and effect". Don't really wanna think "I'm left handed because I'm brain-damaged", doncha know......

            ..... and yes, I'm left-handed, dammit. Anyone wanna see the steel plate in my skull? >:-)
