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. |

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

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

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.

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? I'm a bit embarrassed. I completely forgot about Kosovo and Moldova BTW, the green country names are VERY annoying. I could have think of lots of other countries if I had seen the map.

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 refused to use their electricity or to build them any where near me. Good thing I live in the US where we don't like alternative energy.
 And I actually like windmills.

I suppose you could not eat any grain that is grinded by a windmill, or not use it's electricity.
Good thing MWH can stop that now, I'm sure his boycott was crippling Denmark |

^ You're boycotting windmills? How?
I hate them too, they just spoil the landscape and the ratio cost/benefit is not good enough. |

Finally.
I can stop mailing the Danish government and boycotting windmills.
 Congrats to Greenland. So this makes...194 countries now?
