My paternal grandmother was from a German family so I have a little bit German in me. 

So did your grandmother!

My own ancestry is Lithuanian - most people know better than to poke fun at us.

I'm 45% Lithuanian Jew, and SWMBO is ~50% Lithuanian.  Her surname is Pinkham, and soon after we started dating she discovered that it was originally Pinkevicius.  I speculated that the -vicius suffix was the same as the Jewish suffix -witz, meaning "son of," which I also have in my surname.  A cursory internet search revealed that I was right.  So we wonder if our great grandparents lived near each other... a question which may never be answered.

I didn't realize Apu's voice was done by the Blue Raja.  Interesting.

I'm invisible!

People are still trying to bring down the Raj?

Raj has long since overcome his fear of speaking to women, whomever wrote that article is woefully behind the times.
