Ok UK I get that you have weird and irrational and illogical status' for all your dependencies and component parts but the Isle of Man does not get to count the UK as a foreign nation.

Count yourself lucky that they're not including the Channel islands as separate entities.  :P

Yes, it's basically beef in a very hot/spicy sauce, served with congri (http://www.finecooking.com/recipes/congri-black-beans-rice.aspx)

Mmm, yummy! Was that in Vienna?

I recently visited the underground nuclear reactor that was the major producer of plutonium for the Swedish atomic bomb program. Pretty cool place. :ph34r:

OMFG all teh east europeans are flooding into Engerland.

Actually, that mat tells you fuck all about how many east Europeans are flooding into Engerland, except that it may be less than into Germany.

It also doesn't tell you anything about current migration. I figure e.g. that a lot of the Italian- and Greek-born residents in Germany have been there for a while as part of earlier guest worker waves, and that a lot of the Poles are of formerly German ancestry, of which many moved to Germany in the 90s.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Fucking hell.  Lending Club issues weirdo tax docs, the 1099-B and 1099-OID, and TurboTax free can't handle these inputs.  I'm going to end up paying $54 for software to record $200 in net interest income.
