Granted, all Americans should know more about Scotland. But I would like to see whether the majority of Scots could name a single city in, say, Idaho.

Then again, I doubt a majority of Americans could name a single city in Idaho, so perhaps we still wouldn't come out even on the comparison.

Where's Idaho??

This is reminding me of one of Eddie Izzard's routines where he mentions something about a another country to an American audience that they don't respond. He stares at them and asks:

"Do you know that there are other countries?"

"Do you know that there are other countries?"

That's a lie. There are no other countries, only regions which have not yet achieved statehood.

I hear we've offered to let that Elizabeth chick be Governor of England, if she can get elected....

As a royalist, I am offended (she be guv by birth-right), but not offended as I would be if you named Celine Dion Governor of the state of Canada!

I thought Shania Twain was governor of Canada?
