Poland has the Magnavox Odyssey on #5 . . .

Vietnamese #1 translates to "List of sexual positions", while the Japanese top entry seems to be a reference to adult video actresses . . .

Then it's probably, "What is this 'tea' we hear about on British programs?"

Little confused by all the people looking up the US on wiki.

Poland has the Magnavox Odyssey on #5 . . .

Hey man, easy on the Odyssey.  Fuck with my childhood at your peril, coal scuttlehead.

Hey man, easy on the Odyssey.  Fuck with my childhood at your peril, coal scuttlehead.

Little confused by all the people looking up the US on wiki.

USA is what we hear most about in the news besides our own country, way more than EU for example. So I'm guessing that people look up US now and then when they hear about Sandy, Fiscal Cliffs, Presidential elections, Child shootings, etc.
