So is everybody here a technical Jew? Like, that's three of us, and this isn't a huge community.

I'm Brian, and so is my wife.

Brian is an interesting name for a woman. Then again, my brother Steven married a man named Stephen.

It's from "Life of Brian", and somewhat related to Jewish identity. Here's the referenced scene - recommend the whole movie if you've never seen it.

Good for Steven and Stephen, and wish them every happiness.

I'm reasonably certain I wouldn't count. As far as I know there were no Jews (by ethnicity) in my family for the last couple hundred years.

I do, however, count as a Native American, specifically I'm ¹/16th Lakota.
