^ They will rule the world one day. Then who will be laughing?
All 3 of them, perfect number for a military junta....and a polar bear army. Those are some big animals.

You're right. But on that note:

I got 115!
I knew all of North and South America, most of Europe, a good chunk of Asia but Africa did me in...

I got 170. It would have been better If I'd known some English names. For example, I was stuck at the bigger Congo. Dem Rep of the Congo, eh? LOL

I'm a bit embarrassed. I completely forgot about Kosovo and Moldova Confused, Sri Lanka, Cameroon and Kuwait...

BTW, the green country names are VERY annoying. I could have think of lots of other countries if I had seen the map.

Has anyone ever explained the confusion over why a block of ice is known as Greenland, whereas a fairly green land, is known as Iceland.

The vikings thought Greenland was pretty green when they first arrived. They should had gone to Specsavers, I guess. LOL

Iceland on the other hand was pretty icy, according to my ancestors. If they had made landfall in England on a Saturday night, England would today had been better known as Drunkland. So I guess England had a lucky escape. My ancestors went further north and did not cause a one thousand year long embaresment.

They still have a defence agreement with the Danes. Who would want to attack them?

All you people are joking but I tell ya, Greenland is not to be messed with.

I sure hope Obama extends a hand and maintains a good relationship. Wouldn't want to piss off their polar bear army. They look cute but those things can just be brutal.
