  OK, I'll bite - 

  I'm 100% Italian descent (1/2 Piedmontese, 1/2
  Sicilian).

  My wife is 75% Italian descent, 25% English, my
  Godmother still hasn't gotten over the fact that she's
  not 100%.

  Interestingly enough, in my family the Sicilians are
  fair skinned and blue eyed, the Northern Italians are
  darker. In fact, one of my father's cousins was Frank
  DeKova, who was dark enough to pass as a Native
  American - he played Chief Wild Eagle on F-Troop!

  And now I live 1000 miles from anyone who knows what a
  sfugliatelle is.
