'Good heavens, my great grandfather was a ....!', but if your dad is not your dad, or your mum is not your mum, then the whole history is not true. With the advent of DNA tests, people are finding this to be so. For some interesting examples, listen to the 'The Gift' on BBC Sounds.

Late at night, you’re about to settle in.
You know you locked the front door when you came in.
But something compels you to get up and jiggle the knob one more time—just to be sure.
I’ve been in that situation, too.
I’ll catch myself walking back to the door, even though I remember hearing the click.
This small moment of caution can say a lot about who we are and how we move through life.
There’s nothing wrong with double-checking.

@Moderator You must have friends in high places!; I thought it was impossible to start a new loop. Suggest you let members know about the loop in the Workshop and IT loops.
