Just if you know, I usually do. So if you hear something strange, I am playing along. I am the great American (half Japanese, and proud of it) actor. *thinks, be careful Firouz, don't be too big headed*

[Sinbad]

Half Japanese, seriously? *looks at her own extremely boring pedigree*

[Doubar]

;D That explains a lot then. ;D

*pats the scientist's back*
Of course I do respect you and your little ... thingies. Just, ah, leave some space between them and me, would you?

Err, think I've been to slow again. My comment refers to the in-character-thing not the pedigree one....
And, okay, now I know.

[firouz]

Yes. I am the great grandson of samurai class. Very proud of my Japanese blood indeed.

No, Doubar you have not been too slow. I am not offended, if that is what you are thinking. Did you know that Romans carried vinegar around and mixed it with water to make a sort of sour wine. That way, we will never run out of wine.

[Sinbad]

They did? I didn´t know that. *adds it to her large collection of history buff related knowledge*

[firouz]

Just a question, are you (Sinbad) and history major? This will be so much fun. I am a big fan of ancient Greece, Rome, and Arabia, although I like the Romans the best. Do you know Latin?

[Sinbad]

I have my state exam for history because I am a history teacher However, my special field is more 20th century German history, other than that, a bit of this and a bit of that through antiquity and the European Middle Ages. I keep increasing my knowledge.

I´ve had Latin at school for... *counts*.. 5 years. But I pretty much sucked at it ;D

[firouz]

So you know all about World War I and II, and that Japan sided with Germany in World War II. I understand some Americans don't like Japanese and my mother says I should be careful when criticizing the United States because of my Japanese background.

I like to also study history, typically ancient history, all kinds of wars, and political and social conflicts. I am very interested about learning about the Native Americans.

[Sinbad]

Of course I know that. And I find it a pity that some prejudices still linger. They shouldn´t. We are another generation and sometimes I as a German think that with the historical background I have and know, that I am more critical and away towards changes, because we know how things can go. I am very critical towards anything that limits basic rights for example, for whatever reason.

I guess Native Americans unfortunately is one of the fields I do not know much about. Probaly also because unfortunately history is usually country-centric, in my case Euro-centric. What I know about it is mostly from English class.

@rumi: hope you don't mind me taking the banner you made as a temporary signature. *takes on her best puppy dog eyes*

[firouz]

How do you do that, take someone's banner?

[Doubar]

Err well, you could say I've stolen it, but here we go:

I used right button click on the banner Rumina has posted and saved it on my PC. Then I changed the pic's size and uploaded it on imagebanana (yeah, am still using it x). Then just like Sinbad already explained:
profile -> signature
There I put the URL and finished it is. ;D

[firouz]

Ha, you, a thief. That would be a picture. Doubar would be a very clumbsy thief. ;D I am a fan of Autolycus, the king of thieves in Hercules and Xena (played by Bruce Campbell). Ah, he was a character.

But I am sure Rumina won't mind. After all, that is why I think she made them.

[Doubar]

Hehe, yeah, Doubar would be far away from being a good thieve. *chuckles*

And, aye, hope that too. *feels a shiver running down her spine as she imagines Rumina casting a spell on her for stealing that banner* ...

[alex]

Don't worry. She won't hurt your if I can help it. Hey, did you read that AoS fanfiction "When We Were Thieves?" Great story. I like that Maeve stood up for Talia. Hard to picture. ;D
