    All I know about NZ is bocce ball and Lord of the Rings. For me, that's kind of like being asked if I wear shoes because I live in Arkansas. Sorry. :-/

    Yeah, I know about the bocce (I mean, bocce must be Italian), but I've only seen in played on TV in NZ.

    They have chiggers in Alabama, too,

    CC, no offense taken. It is pronounced Arkinsaw! Unless you're in Kansas, then it's pronounced Arkansas (with the s). http://www.arkcity.org/portal/portal.asp

    Only once did we have a really bad In-Your-Face poster (remember Miz Liz?) who might have been suffering from other things due to a bad bike accident. Regardless, she would blast people & actually caused one lady to change her sign-on name.

    I generally find that restraint of tongue & keyboard rules on this board.

    And it's too hot to wear panties.

    Ummm I watched a show on the most visited natural wonders the other night and #6 is Ayers Rock. I also learned the aborigonees consider it sacred and would like to keep people from climbing it.

    Ummm, Canada. Yeah, I really don't know much about our kind northern neighbors, except the ones who call me for work still have yet to say "Eh".

    I did learn from watching a show on the Travel channel that Vancouver has an amazing Aquarium, one of the best in the world. And if you go there you can pay to have a very close encounter with a beluga.

    oops

    Karen-no disrespect meant to ya dear I know jack about Arkansas except one or both the Clintons come from there. I always thought it was called Arkinsaw .

    Amanda-I see you're paying attention! For an extra five points, what Aussie state is Ayers rock in & name the aboriginal name for it.

    I do have a few questions about the US.

    What's the name of the rock structure with the four presidents on it?

    Why is one state called New Mexico? I guess I could locate the state info site

    Why haven't they changed the colour of your money?

    I'll leave you kids & venture off to bed.
