    I was thinking the other day, and remembered it today.

    My thought was, what are the communist countries still left in the world? Now I don't want people going out and searching Yahoo or Google for it, I just want you to think about it. I heard them during the Olympic Opening Ceremony a week or two ago. It was quite interesting actually.

    Only clue that I will give you, is that 4 of the 5 are on the Eastern Hemisphere.

    Yep, I had a problem when they did the little trivia also. I got those 4 and was then surprised as I couldn't think of the 5th and final one. As I said though, it is on the Eastern half of the world. I actually expectr Tris to know it, maybe someone else too.

    Why, because he's a communist, err socialist, err liberal? :laugh: :wink:

    Yep, how much Google research did that take you? :laugh:

    Ummm, actually because he always seems to know his fair share about every subject, so I figured it probably wouldn't change.

    Thank you, thank you very much.

    I have the Discovery and History channels to thank for that one.... I watch both ALOT, otherwise I wouldn't have had a clue.

    No need to lie, we all know that you're a native of Laos, and that you escaped the country with your family at the age of 4, swimming to Australia or some other country lol.

    I usually only watch the Discovery channel when they have FBI Files, which is usually late night, and rare. I also watch History, mainly on Labor Day and stuff when they show old memorial things. I really hate watching it with my Grandpa though. He ends up putting it on mute, and telling his own side of the story, which he swears is right lol, and then goes from 1 to the next. Ends up being 3 hours, and it is on like the 3rd different show lol.

    Hey thanks for the life story! I was dying to know what channels you watched for the 20 seconds a day you weren't on LG.

    Just because I am signed onto AIM, MSN, and am showing as active on LG all day, it doesn't mean I am sitting here. Sometimes I just leave it all open, go to the beach, go in the pool or whatever else. Thanks, now pay up for your copy of the socal autobiography
