Good point. Does the Soviet Union begin with a 'u'?

[Heresson]

it's a bit harder in Soviet case, because USSR didn't have a geographical term of any kind in its name

Silly commies.

Ukraine comes first to mind here, probably because it's close and I hear the most about it, then Uganda.

Utah, when it was to be it's own country, was called Deseret... :P

Also, the country that starts with U.. that's a typical question that is easy, except when someone asks it out of the blue, nothing comes to your mind

Speak for yourself...

To be fair the first country that came to mind for me was Uganda (though it took less than 5 seconds to come up with that one hehe).

Does anyone else miss Upper Volta?? It was such a name for a country.

The video is fairly hillarious, though. I sincerely hope that there was some kind of a selection bias in editing the video - if the majority can't find Korea on the map and supports military action against Kyrgyzstan, it's truly a sorry situation...

Julian Morrow: Do you know what state KFC comes from?

Dumb guy: The chicken?

Julian Morrow: Yes

Dumb guy: I don't know

Julian Morrow: Do you know what it stands for?

Dumb guy: Yeah Kentucky Fried Chicken.


Priceless.

Unbelievable, truly unbelievable...

Still, ask a lot of people a lot of questions and you'll eventually get enough stupid answers...

Here's a related one... Is there a difference between 0.002 US cents and 0.002 US dollars? Or perhaps it's only a difference of opinion?

hi, the first kfc was opened in utah, thanks

"Uganda" came first to my mind too, followed by "Uruguay".

I wonder why, considering that Uganda doesn't even start with "U" in my mother language (bot with "O"), and isn't pronounced at all like the French "u"

I couldn't even think of Ukraine before clicking this thread, despite all those posts I wrote lambasting Yushchenko

The first letter in "The United States of America" is a "T". Same for "The United Kingdom".

My first thought was Uzbekistan...
