Is this a weed or something edible?

At first I thought this was some sort of overwintered parsley, but it is nowhere near where I plant my herbs.  I tasted a piece and it was unpleasant.
 
WTF is this:
 

 

 
 
My guess is wild chrysanthemum, also known as mugwort (although I never knew they were one and the same until my latest google search).  Does it have a (at least in my opinion) pleasant smell when you tear a leaf?  The best way I could describe it is like some kind of sweet/spice scent.  
 
 
Oh and one more thing... you're supposed to smoke the weeds, not eat them  :high:  lol!

wild mum is another good guess, I'm not entirely sure I've ever seen them but it definitely has mum-like leaves
 
     It looks like a member of the carrot family, like cow parsnip or giant hogweed. I wouldn't recommend eating any more until you have it IDed. Some members of the family are really poisonous - water hemlock and giant hogweed, for example.
 
It is a weed and very annoying. The root system is crazy and when you think you have gotten it all, 5 more plants appear. I just weeded about 200 of those things a few days back. 
 
It does smell sweet when crushed in my hands, but I doubt if it is edible.
 
I dug up as much as I could.  It has a nasty, nasty root system.

Exactly as I described. Try to get as much of it as you can up if not it takes over!
