I took this web quiz (h/t Pharyngula), and interestingly it pegged me correctly, as I was born in Detroit, although I moved to California when I about six. My parents grew up in Detroit so I guess the influence stuck. Over the years people still occasionally ask me if I come from the mid-west or Chicago …
