I thought of injecting a little humor into the often contentious and heated topic of y-DNA. Y-DNA jokes ahead, beware.

This one requires some knowledge of Computer Science/software development:

I wrote a software application in Lisp that can tell you your y-haplogroup. See here - I send it my STR's as an input list, and I get my answer back - "T"! Oddly enough, everyone here seems to either be a T or an N1l. Isn't that odd?
