Random Question of the Day - 2/19/03

[Schmidty]

Which country would you most like to invade?


I'm going to have to go with Germany, as I really enjoy meats that are encased in various membranes.

[AgPete]

Ireland for the beer. Maybe we can get rid of Coors, Budweiser and the other barley water we like to call beer if we start annexing some European countries.

Rio de Janeiro has some beautiful women. We don't need the country of Brazil, just the city.

[Ben E Lou]

I wanted to invade Canada ever since back in '92 when they whined about their flag being flown upside down in Atlanta. Like we know or care which way that little leaf is supposed to look like.

Amen to that. :)

Oregon

I know strictly speaking its not a country, but we really did to do something about that place.

[Qwikshot]

Australia, for the women, the food, the beaches, did I mention the women...?

That's the secret reason why the French are against us. They're still pissed about that sweet blue light special we got on Louisiana. :D

They should be angry at the Corsican who sold it to us...
Jefferson actually violated the constitution buying it, as I believe it needed an act of Congress to approve of it...but Congress wasn't in session...talk about bold.

[fantastic flying froggies]

And remember, back then, Louisiana was everything west of the Mississippi all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Hell, what a crap deal that was!

[fantastic flying froggies]

Dola - but we would never have kept it anyhow, at least we got some gold out of the deal...

[Qwikshot]

Actually I thought it was less than that, remember Spain had some of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California to themselves, the British had power over parts of Washington and Oregon (part of British Columbia).

[HornedFrog Purple]

Forget countries, I just want to invade every Krispy Kreme donut shop and take their glazed donuts as spoils of war.

LOL Qwikshot. You could have fooled me. :p It sort of ruins the joke to mention Napoleon was a Corsican and having to specify exactly which parts of the modern-day United States were French Louisiana.

Would you believe I'm actually a biologist, who double majored in history as well...?

[AgPete]

I once met a computer programming and political science double major. That was certainly an interesting combination. I'm still waiting to find someone who majored in statistics and literature. :p

[KWhit]

Let's invade Canada for the strip ... uh ... GENTLEMAN'S clubs. Yeah.

[Swaggs]

Canada would be a pretty sweet 51st state.

[JeeberD]

Why do we need Canada, don't we already have Minnesota? Aren't they basically the same thing?

I gotta second Germany. There's nothing like Germany at Christmas time. Plus they have great beer, great food, and the Autobahn!
