god, I swear I'll shut up about this soon

The Caribbean =/= the Pacific Islands.

you guys. If this is seriously where the Pete is Hawaiian thing came from then...yeah. no. Like, I thought people were just wrong. Not...uh. mistaking one geographic region for another one entirely.

eta: YAY I read things wrong! Also wikipedia is dumb! WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK?

What? Since when???!!?

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Since Pangaea broke up, I think. I could be wrong!

I know next to nothing about Pete Wentz (I THINK that's who this is about anyway), but dude, that's almost entirely opposite sides of the globe...

eta duh. just noticed your icon

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Hee. I could have been talking about someone else!

er. maybe.

Uh, hi! I've been lurking the entire day and not contributing to the discussion at all. I just really enjoyed everyone's comments. But I think people thought Pete was part Hawaiian because Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Wentz) says so. Because Wikipedia is never wrong, you guys! Ahaha. So it's probably from misinformation rather than ignorance of geography.

That makes me feel a lot better. Because there were some comments where it was like, "Yeah, Hey Chris said one time that he was part Caribbean and then people thought he was a Pacific Islander..." and I'm like...wait, what? So. Okay. Wikipedia being wrong is totally understandable.

...is that where that came from? Because I was seriously just sitting there going, um, have none of you ever actually looked at that picture of Wee Pete, The Littlest Dude With The Biggest Dogs?

also, boy occasionally makes me want to buy stock in hair flatirons, man.

also also, according to wikipedia B. Urie is Irish-American. *weepz!*

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

Wee Pete does make it pretty clear. OH PETE. As do Pete's siblings. OH PETE x100000.

ahahahahaha. irish american. AHAHAHAHA.

[bexone.livejournal.com]

it gets even funnier if you look at the page history! where you find out that, not only was Pete originally also part Native American, there is a serious difference of opinion over whether Mr. Urie is Irish-American or Scottish-American. OH WIKIPEDIA. Bringing the lulz at least since last Wednesday.

*snicker* Oh, Wikipedia!

[speshope.livejournal.com]

But... but... there's a whole continent or two in between them. HOW PEOPLE?

[mimesere.livejournal.com]

I am extrapolating from stuff people have said! It is my sincere hope that I misread things and that no one has actually made that mistake!

one geographic region for another one entirely.

[randomblade.livejournal.com]

psh. islands... who can tell one from another? It's like continents. That's why we call it australasia. Helps us avoid having to say whether it's new zealand or papua new-guinea. They both eat people, right?
