View Full Version : Spanish Habsburgs - The perils of inbreeding
I was reading some historical articles on Wikipedia just to kill time. I came across the Spanish Habsburg family tree. Wow. It's disturbing enough to share. :D
There are 29 people listed. One marriage started things off, so that's two people. The family tree ends with the last Habsburg King of Spain, so that's one. Out of the 26 remaining people in this family tree, only 5 married into the family! And people say only rednecks inbreed.
Wrap your head around this family tree:

Just adds more creedence to the argument for interracial/interethnic marriage.
Much less likely that you will marry your cousin/niece/half sister if she is visibly different from you and your family. :smirk:

My friend and I developed the theory back in high school that more hot women are created by mixed marriages, proportionally-speaking. I additionally theorized that if Irish was mixed with something exotic and the offspring was a woman, she would be smoking hot, particularly with Asian or Native American.
That's not Irish egotism either because I'm not Irish.

If you mix Korean, Irish, and Dutch, you get this:

Further evidence for my theory. :D

I'm curious to see where it goes. :D
Have you paid attention to who has posted in this thread? When we're the conductors, there's only one destination . . . Bootyville. :D

That reminds me of these Irish and Japanese twin sisters I went to collage with.
Smoking hot.
Sweet. Further evidence, albeit anecdotal. :D
