Jingthing Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 The USA has been slipping in so many international rankings lately, but not all of them. The rankings seem about right to me, though Brazil at number two, could really be number one. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/09/06/survey-finds-america-is-c_n_951022.html * America topped the list of coolest countries, followed by Brazil, Spain, Italy and France. Except for America, those are also the countries that topped 2009's super-scientific World's Best Lovers list. * The five uncoolest countries, from least to most are: Germans, Canadians, Turks, Poles and... Belgians? Perhaps the first five Google suggest terms after "Belgian" can shed some light. They are: "malinois," "waffle recipe," "shoes," "beer" and "shepherd," as in Belgian Shepherd dog. Sure there's an alcoholic beverage in there, but there are also two dog breeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krading Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I would like to make a suggestion to the Admin Staff to include a statistic stating the number of 'polls' opened by each member to be displayed under the number of posts stat.

Her wikipedia entry reads "minor startlet, better known for having shared smack with the anonymous smokie36 way back when"; or it would if I knew how to update it. The entertaining thing is that this will probably soon appear have way down the second page on google searches for Kelly McDonald... SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
