Didn't you say you were from New Brunswick, so wouldn't you be Acadian?

But I thought Acadians were an ancient people from Iraq

That would be the Mesopotamians. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadians

Also it's weird that so many people are from Nova Scotia considering it has a population of under a million. You'd think there'd be more from New York or at least Toronto.

You'd think there'd be more people from Cairo, considering almost 11 million people live there.

As for the ancient people from mesopotamia, you're thinking of the Akkadians.

The name "Jersey" dead center? It's also written on the tiny bit of ship route in the upper right corner.

But seriously, ever since Pandemic 2, I think "Madagaskar" whenever I see an island with a massive port as a dominant landscape feature.

I'm half-Acadian, too. Probably Metis, actually. I read in a piece of Academic literature that my family was especially well known for taking Native brides.

There's something to be said about a family tree known for its ability to procreate.

Well, you'd think there'd be even more from Mexico City.

I'm Nova Scotia, Lunenburg county, and damn pissed that both Scotia and Lunenburg are not considered words by whatever spell-check this forum uses.....
Why would you be pissed about it, when Scotia isn't an English word? :P

But it is the name of a place, so it's a proper noun.

Another great day in Hull, the stench of rancid turds drifting over from the tannery, mingling with the stench of a landfill site and a dye factory.

More than made up for by our high water table forcing us to have sewers close to the surface.
