I'm interested. Any GetBiggers find out their heritage?

You should try 69andme, you practice poses in the 69 position until you are flexible enough to suck your own dick.

I gave them a semen sample and they got offended

Same. Took 5 viles and extra shipping costs

Isn't that site for adopted kids and kids who don't know their baby daddy?

I'm considering to order a kit. Not that I'm interested in their ancestry report, but when it comes to possible health issues/risks, they also report your gene polymorphisms. Since they provide the raw data as well, you can upload that data for more possible polymorphisms to services like Promethease or Rhonda Patrick's site.

I did a while back.  I don't care about my heritage but I was interested in the health analysis.  After some controversy, they don't offer as much in that department anymore or at least that's what I heard.  The observations they afforded me weren't particularly exciting, so I'm inclined to believe "it used to be better."

Anyway, they give you the raw data, which you can use with other services, which ostensibly opens up a lot of possibilities.  I kind of lost interest, but will probably look into it again some day.

I believe that your relation with food intake is rather a mental disorder.

Lol wtf, I meant to write 'anymore' but my phone autocorrected... Irony overload!  If ever there an android-facilitated Freudian slip!

I've come a long way since those days.

Ha, point taken   That auto correction function is plain annoying, glad you can disable it.

Like the psychic network, it should be labeled "for entertainment purposes only."  You may recall that a while back the FDA shut them down because their "product" and the way it was marketed fell under the category of a medical device, one which had not been approved by the FDA.  No serious geneticist holds this company in any esteem.  The one geneticist I knew who went to work there failed to get tenure at a local university; she didn't want to move so she accepted a job there.  People still mock her. They have tried to recruit serious scientists to work there without success.  The woman who runs it, Anne Wojcicki, used to be married to Sergey Brin of Google.  She has a very competitive streak and is determined to make something as profoundly successful as Google.  Not there yet.
