It's alright, ricketyclik. A lot of Europeans believe that most Americans are VERY stupid and have never opened a geography book. YES I KNOW WHERE BELGIUM IS ! It's somewheres in South America right? And your president's name is Pinochet or something like that ...

Ladder updated.

0 out of 2..... That is better than the average of US-students.

Congrats Steve ....

Easy there Birdman ... Care to take this stupid American on in a game of CTP? Do you know where Ventura County is? My county is about the size of your entire country!

If it is shown on a map with a decent format, then I would have found it.



It might seems strange now-a-days, but when I was young (a year or two after you ) in school, I and a few others challenged each other to find odd-cities/towns at the map, delivered by the school in shortest posssible time. I liked that (and other games like that) - and are pretty proud of my readiness-knowledge (knows a little about everything, but not much about a single item..... but I am a damn good "guesser").

And now it is 21:05 hours, dk- and sleeping-time (working day started this morning at 02:40).

Sorry to correct you, you arrogant self-loving american !
Belgium is a city state in south asia !

Sigh, did you all sleep in school?

Belgium is named after the flat footed cow that is called Belgerung in the local language. And everyone knows that cows comes from India. So thats where Belgium is, an Indian state.

Look just northwest of Los Angeles, California, USA. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6 ...

Okay, I was wrong. Ventura county is only 1/8th the size of Denmark. But San Bernardino county, where my brother lives (just east of Los Angeles), is bigger than all of Denmark! But the Danish pastry in San Bernardino SUCKS!

Ya know the boys get on me for useless attachments as people say..and it clutters up the otherwise decent forums...they say...because people come to forums to view or look for a certain subject....

I guess its a matter of perspective...

Windshield or Bug?

(Peering through the looking glass to see what these posts have to do with Challenge ladder criteria??)
