I just ordered my Do It Yourself DNA kit from Ancestry.com
I'm looking forward to swabbing the deck...er...I mean, my cheek to see where exactly I fit in during the whole human migration thing.
Once I get my kit I'll let you all know how it turns out.
UPDATE 25 Sep 2011
I received my DNA Kit on Saturday and swabbed my cheeks tonight. Had to swab the right cheek, left cheek, and behind my lower lip.
Hopefully I'll get to mail the samples off tomorrow and then they said it will take about a month for the results to be ready.
It's going to be a long month. :)

We’ve Received Your DNA Sample
Dear Rick,
Our lab has received your Ancestry.com DNA sample. We’ll send you another email in about 3–4 weeks, when the results are ready.
Thanks for choosing Ancestry.com DNA for the next step in your genealogy journey. We wish you great success in growing your family tree!
UPDATE 6 Oct 2011
Received an email message that said my results were ready.
Apparently I am a member of the R1b Hapogroup. There is also a chart that shows a bunch of numbers that apparently is my DNA. Now I guess I need to figure out what all of this means.
