Also, as an American I don't really have any confidence that England won't win the next World Cup, since I don't follow soccer.

Kentucky will win the SEC in football before England will win the World Cup again.

I got Probably American as well.  I never thought of the Limey bastards as particularly polite.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

"Probably American"  :alberta:

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I got "as British as David Somebody's foot" I'm not sure how British that is. Also the correct answer to most of the questions was "huh?", but that was only an option for a few of them.

Fry with Corgi.  About right, at least as far as Americans go.

I had a great idea.
I'm gonna type a program to calculate all the words in the English language, all the ways they can be mixed and used, to arrive to a total number of books that can be written in English. To reach the same conclusion for books in the Hebrew language, I just need to divide the English number by 7. :D

Max is not a sports fan to put it mildly.  He doesn't know who Michael Jordan is.

Actually I do, as that is one of the canonical examples used for disambiguation. Almost any search will return the sports star for "Michael Jordan", but Michael Jordan is also a prominent Computer Scientist. Depending on the context of the search he may be what you want.  :D

You would need at least 25^{1,312,000} times 10^{1,834,097} books.
