Wauw! So many of the Italian Americans descend from Sicily? I was just checking to see how many people there are in Sicily, actually it is 5 mio. so about the size of Denmark ;) But still, they must have had a LOT of babies to achieve that, haha.

Yes, looks like they haven't had a problem reproducing, lol. I generally like the Sicilians... Tad dramatic perhaps but at least there's passion. Passion's a very good thing. =)

Haha, yes, you're right! Scandinavians are always seen as cold people, but I am much more dramatic than my Spanish boyfriend, I have Latin temper I think ;) So I agree with you :)
