"The world", US style

Clickety [paul] Cool! -------------- [edit] Dear US citizen: I do not want to imply that you have no idea how a world map looks like. I am convinced the US geography education is among the finest in the whole world (including the so called "international" areas) However, what is clearly evident, that, by not calling for a revolution to overthrow your government and adopting the social, political and economical standards of my country, you do support a view of the world that makes me laugh. Thank you for listening, and don't dry your cat in the oven.
The earth is not dying. It is being killed.

"When a friend hurts us, we should write it down in the sand, where the winds of forgiveness get in charge of erasing it away, and when something great happens, we should engrave it in the stone of the memory of the heart, where no wind can erase it" Nish on life [methinks]

The title says "Over 60 Foucault Pendulums are installed around the world!". It then displays 11 locations in the US, lists 16 more in the US, and lastly lists 6 international locations (presumably the major ones). That's a total of 33. I presumed the remaining 27 were also international. Apparently people of your country can't count... ;P ;P Mike Mullikin "Thank you America, every night I see increasingly stupid things happening here in Australia. Then you come along and top it." - Michael Martin - The Lounge :bob:
