I was tempted to write YHBT and just leave it at that Ojay, as a prelude to doing a Floodser and taking the piss out of you for weeks hereafter, but I decided not to. Instead I decided to wind you up even more with some FACTS.

I must say I am baffled by your post.
?jevind L?ngOn the contrary, you did not refute my assertion that there was such a thing as Celtic Blood. All the time you're harping on pretending not to understand that teh colloquial use of the term "blood" refers to "bloodlines" = genetic inheritance.
Having shot yourself with this, you then went on a rampage of self abuse by proving the existence of Irish genetic inheritance by reference to the Celtic Curse, then backpedaled in the last paragraph and I quote.
"I am not glad that I don't have any Celtic blood, since happiness at not having something nonexistent is silly,"
Pardon? And then you go and crucify yourself...
"... but I definitely feel rather good about not having (as far as I know) any Irish or Scottish British ancestors, since that might have given me such crappy genes."
Did you read that last excerpt in my previous post or not?
"It is estimated that the mutation occurred about 55,000 years ago and that it was beneficial to individuals living on an iron poor diet. This mutation may have occurred in Ireland and spread with the Irish diaspora; initially to Scandinavia with the Vikings and much later to England, the United States and Australia"
You commented that you were glad you *didn't* have Celtic Blood. Then I proved that whatever bloodlines carry the Celtic Curse, you're more likely to have it than most other people in the world because you're Scandinavian. The spread of the condition to other countries came AFTER Scandinavia was infected.
You're not Celtic Ojay, but you're close enough Mr. O'Jayvind...
