Can I post this here? Hope it is not considered spam. I think it is a pretty thorough sight on Dwight and this is only part of it:Family and childhood

Dwight was a twin, but he "resorbed" his twin while still in his mother's womb (this occurrence is called twin embolisation syndrome).[13] He believes that he now has "the strength of a full grown man and a little baby".[13] He claims to have been born weighing 13 lb 5 oz (6.0 kg), rendering his mother incapable of walking for three months and two days.[13] In "Baby Shower", Dwight claims to have performed his own circumcision. Dwight was shunned by his family between the ages of four and six for forgetting to save the excess oil from a can of tuna.[14] He lost a grade school spelling bee by misspelling the word "failure" in front of the entire school.[15] In seventh grade, Dwight played the invented role of "Mutey the Mailman" in a production of Oklahoma![16] He explains that there were not enough roles for all of the children, so they made up roles.[16] Dwight's father — also named Dwight Schrute — battled high blood pressure and obesity all his life, but often went hunting with his son.[17] In the Season Two DVD bloopers it is revealed that Dwight's father would take him and his brothers to a swimming hole on hot summer days as a child until 10:00 AM, then they would work the beet fields until well after midnight.[8]

Dwight's paternal great-grandfather, Dweide Schrude, was Amish[17] and apparently others in his family have been as well, since Dwight's cousin and housemate Mose dresses as a practicing member of the Amish. Dwight speaks German, but his knowledge of it is "pre-industrial and mostly religious" as might be expected if the language was learned exclusively in an Amish church or context.

Dwight lives in a nine-bedroom, one-bathroom (which is located under the porch as revealed in "Office Olympics"), farmhouse on his family's 60-acre (240,000 m2) beet farm with Mose, selling beets to local stores, restaurants and roadside beet stands.[18] It is also revealed that Dwight uses part of his farm to grow hemp, which a pizza delivery boy refers to as "crappy weed"[19]. Dwight and Mose have also turned Schrute Farm into a very ramshackle bed & breakfast that was visited during "Money" by Jim and Pam.[20] The bed and breakfast had three theme rooms, "America, Irrigation, and Nighttime".

Dwight's maternal grandfather, whose surname is Manheim (according to Dwight's web log on NBC.com)[21] fought in World War II and killed twenty men before ending up in an Allied prison camp.[7] In "Take Your Daughter to Work Day", Michael refers to Dwight's grandmother as a "Nazi war criminal".[22] In "Dunder Mifflin Infinity", Dwight reveals that Grandpa Manheim is still alive at 103 years, and relates his attempt to visit him in Argentina.[23] His travel visa was protested by the Shoah Foundation.[23] (It should be noted that U.S. travelers to Argentina do not need a visa) Dwight reveals the day of casino night that he is wearing the suit his grandfather was buried in (Casino Night). It is possible that this is the same grandfather that was reburied in an "old oil drum" (Grief Counseling). In the deleted scenes for "The Surplus" in Season 5 Episode 9, Dwight tells Angela that his family came over on a U-Boat after she tells him that Andy's ancestors came to the U.S. on the Mayflower.

According to one of Dwight's web logs on NBC.com's "Schrute-Space", he had an uncle named Gunther, a goat farmer, who fled the Allied invasion of Germany and married a Finnish woman with whom he had 17 children.[24] He also had an Uncle Grit who revealed that the Schrute family has an ongoing hatred of Harry S Truman because they were staunch supporters of Thomas Dewey. In another blog, he mentions a cousin named Heindl, who received numerous injuries and infections from an attack by a small sheep dog that was working for their family.[25]
[edit] Interests

Dwight is trained in the art of surveillance and is a former Lackawanna County volunteer sheriff's deputy.[5] He is also a purple belt in Goju-Ryu karate.[7] Dwight is a pop culture and sci-fi buff who has expressed fanship of many sci-fi movies and popular TV shows. In the episode "The Fire", he referenced the movie The Crow as being his favorite. He hints at belief in fictional creatures such as androids, zombies, and vampires (though curiously, despite having claimed in "Business School" to have shot a werewolf, he says in one of his blog entries that he does not believe in them; however, he may have simply been denying claims of werewolves at Schrute Farms in order to prevent potential visitors from being frightened away)[25]. He enjoys playing ping-pong and states that many of his heroes are table tennis players.[26] He is also shown to be very good at the sport.[26] His musical tastes vary, but classic rock seems to be a recurring theme.[1] His personal musical talents are not lacking, as he plays guitar and recorder, and sings.[22] He has a fascination with cars; he usually checks a car's suspension, especially muscle cars. He is technologically talented and shows a passion for the online role playing game, Second Life, in which the only difference between himself and his avatar is that his avatar can fly.[19] He also shows an interest in trains as he's restoring a life size train in his slaughterhouse during "The Meeting", which has him bonding with Toby as they share the same interest.

Dwight expresses his interests in weaponry and surveillance.

Dwight owns an impressive array of weaponry. In addition to laser tag and paintball equipment, he has a crossbow range at his farm ("Office Olympics") and, when he was named official security supervisor of the Scranton branch[5], hinted that he might bring a bo staff to work. He maintained a hidden arsenal of weapons at his desk, including pepper spray, nunchucks, throwing stars, a stun gun, a boomerang, handcuffs, a nightstick, a pair of brass knuckles, and a Chinese Sword, all of which were confiscated by Toby.[27] Dwight also claimed to have sat at his desk for an entire day with a Spud Gun without any trouble from security.[5] Dwight also uses a real gun, a Smith & Wesson Model 686, fired within city limits, to start off the race in Fun Run.[28] He also produced a disturbing number of Molotov cocktails for a panty raid on Utica in "Branch Wars". In "Survivor Man", it is revealed that Dwight still has many knives (and other weapons) hidden on himself (as in "Stress Relief" there is a knife strapped to his leg) or strategically positioned throughout the office ('Mr. A Knife' in a filing cabinet and water cooler, sword in ceiling tile, blow dart in a toilet, a compound bow under a couch) and he owns a .22 rifle with scope.[29]

Dwight is vocal about his views on justice. In "The Negotiation", Roy attacks Jim because he kissed Roy's fiancee, Pam, but Dwight intercepts the attack with pepper spray.[27] Jim wants to show his appreciation, but Dwight refuses to accept his gifts: "Citizens do not accept gifts for being citizens".[27] In "Drug Testing", Dwight finds half of a joint in the parking lot, which incites him to carry out a full-out investigation.[5] When he discovers that Michael might have been exposed to drugs at a concert he substitutes his own urine during the drug test.[5] Dwight then resigns from his volunteer position at the Sheriff's Department because he feels he is no longer worthy of working there. In "Frame Toby", Dwight states that he is good at framing people and animals, saying that he once framed a raccoon for opening a Christmas present and a bear for eating out of the garbage. [5] In the episode "Womens Appreciation", he is quoted as saying "Better a thousand innocent men are locked up than one guilty man roam free."

I edited the Wikipedia page for the 2002 World Series of Poker, to include Kevin as the winner of the $2500 No Limit Deuce to Seven draw event. :)

Well it was certainly thorough. The bits from his blog I didn't know. I'm not all caught up on that yet. Still a newbie with only about three months of watching the show (though I am caught up on all DVD seasons).
The boat was actually Plan C, the church was Plan B, and Plan A was marrying her a long, long time ago. Pretty much the day I met her. - Jim Halpert
