    I had a lot of fun reading the topic about english spelling and I asked the above question already under that topic, but I think a it's interesting enough to create a new topic.

    For instance:

    a) What is the capital city of Denmark?

    b) what is the difference between Holland and the Netherlands

    c) How old is Belgium

    d) Which european countries are a kingdom and which of them are an United Kingdom?

    You're asking a nation that play a World Series game, and yet it's just Americans participating - I don't think you're going to get much joy....but then again there is google.

    1.) We know that our forefathers left there to get away from oppressive forms of government and religious persecution.

    2.) We fought several wars against and with certain countries.

    3.) You would all be speaking German right now if not for us saving your asses!!

    4.) We rebuilt half of your Europe and all you do is disrespect us when we come to visit. (You know who you are France)

    5.) Swiss make great watches and pistols.

    6.) Germans have the best chocolate and cars.

    7.) Italy has the best seafood. (ok, Iceland isn't so bad either)

    8.) Great Britain has the best drunks and punk rock!!

    9.) Spain & Italy have some fine looking women!!! (Ok, England has Crumpet, but she's actually in Colorado visiting right now)

    10. ) Did I mention there wouldn't be a Europe if not for the USA, just the German 3rd Reich?
