    In a study published in the American Journal of Human Genetics in December 2014, researchers used the ancestry data compiled by the commercial genetic testing company 23and Me to measure the percentage of African ancestry of people who self-identified as white. It turns out that self-identified white people who live in the South have the highest concentrations of African DNA.

    In South Carolina and Louisiana — the states shaded the darkest green on the map above — researchers found that one in 20 people who called themselves white had at least 2 percent African ancestry. And in a lot of the South, about 10 percent of people who identified as white turned out to have African DNA.

If you are due back .99 they give you a dollar, They owe you .96 you get .95 Same way for the other way, if something comes out to $1.03 you give em the dollar and its good or $1.05 but your ass aint getting no change.

    Currency itself will be history in another generation or two.
  8. I'm glad we won't be around. My better half wouldn't be able to cope. :D
  9. I can't help it. If I see a penny while I'm walking across a store parking lot I pick it up. Probably good exercise.
  10. I usually pick them out of the change and drop them. You've welcome.
