There is a test recently developed at Cornell that checks for demigod DNA with about 75% reliability, but it has not been cleared by the FDA yet. Maybe contact Cornell and see if you can get accepted as a subject for the current round of testing.

You can't be a reincarnated God. I thought Gods were omnipotent and not impotent?

99 and 44/100th percent of all known and registered gods are NOT omnipotent.

Further, while many of those gods are seriously oversexed and underdisciplined, there is a whole lot of cuckolding going on and I suspect you can find impotent gods as well as infertile divinities.

And again, demigods are different.

What's wrong with megalomania?
I don't to see a psychologist - perhaps a psychologist needs to see me!

Anyways, I think that for some reason you people missed part of the issue here. He asked if he could be a Greek god, and you all focused on the god thing. But perhaps he is indeed Greek.

I have a fat and hairy body. Every day I look at myself in the mirror for a couple seconds, say "meh", and take a shower.

Is it possible I'm a reincarnated Wilford Brimley?

Wait, he's still alive? Damn.

He said "reincarnated" not "descended" from a greek god. So DNA would be irrelevent.

But then he might be descended instead of reincarnated. Zeus was quite promiscuious.

No, DNA would not be irrelevant - unless Demigoguery entails a merely superficial change - plastic surgery? Or is to be taken as a act of council creating the Olympian equivalent of confderring knighthood.

I am assuming - ujnless demigods browsing here can assure us of the contrary - that there is involved a substantive change conferring powers.

If you're the reincarnation of say Napoleon you would have Napoleon's karma but you wouldnt likely have any of Napoleon's DNA. But you would have the DNAA if you were a descendant of Napoleon.

So Im not clear as to what your point it.

But you're cracking me up with you're miss use of the word "demigoguery"!

The word means "rabble rousing through angry speech", not "the status of being a demigod".

Although most demigogues would have you believe that they are, if not themselves God, the spokesman of God.

The word you're looking for would be... I dont know.. maybe "demigodhood"?
Demigodery? Gotterdamerung?

Passing lightly over the hypoothetical characteristic features of demigods:

demigoguery was totally intentional word blending - a lot of which being a linguist and word freal I am known to do.

It occured to me that it might be intentional. Either way its amusing.


PS.
What is a "freal"?
