Well, Judaism is a bit more complicated than that, since it predates strictly separate notions of religion and ethnicity, and encompasses both. There are Jews who don't practice the religion or believe in its precepts, and there are Jews who convert to the religion but have no Jewish ancestry (although since Judaism doesn't seek out or particularly encourage converts, this is rarer). There are French Jews, but most American Jews come from Germany and Eastern Europe, so it's understandable that somebody wouldn't consider that.

I suppose that true, though as _random_ says Jewish can be used to mean both the religion and the ethnic group, and here I meant mainly the latter. Regardless, most of the Jews in that area were your classic Ashkenazi Jews from German-speaking and Eastern European regions (though I was friends with one Iranian Jew).

Guhh. For some reason I feel as if my testosterone has been rather elevated recently* making me feel even more aggressive/angry/frustrated/horny than usual. So to let off some steam I ended up doing probably more push-ups this weekend than I did in the past couple of years; that itself would be a rave (as I've kinda take a liking to push-ups as a quick easy little exercise to do randomly) if not for the fact that my arms are going to be sore as hell tomorrow.

from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
Should have blew off steam in another, more pleasant way, that, in general, also involves the arms, but is far more satisfying, and certainly less tiring than doing pushups.

I never said I didn't exercise in other ways. However, of course, for various reasons, including the sanctity of our forum, I cannot confirm nor deny exactly what those exercises were.

I'm too cheap for that.
Anyways, more seriously, my muscles aren't feeling that sore this morning. But maybe I'm just that weak to begin with.

Got a pizza, stumbled coming in and dropped it. Naturaly, it fell topping first and I had to deal with a carpet full of melted cheese (while hungry).

After cleaning the carpet I made some fries and chicken nuggets. Then I forgot to turn off the hotplate with the pot full of oil still on it. When I noticed it (by smell) the kitchen was already full of smoke. The situation is under control, windows are open, and I feel like I'm a little bit high, but half of my flat is now a no go zone for the next couple of hours.

It could be very much worse. I once managed to fill my entire house with thick black smoke and had to call the fire brigade to come and turn the stove off that I'd inadvertently turned on by placing a drawer full of stuff on top of the hob. And then going out for an hour.

Well, these things happen. A moment's inattention, or distraction, and there it is.
My record on catastrophes isn't all that bad, though. Taken over my lifetime.
As far as I know, I've been directly responsible for the slaughter of exactly zero kittens. So far.
