They're probably looking up specific facts on the US and using the wiki as the starting point.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Why are the French so interested in a small evergreen bush.   :hmm:

I'm more curious why the germans are fascinated by cul-de-sac's
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

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.

Probably.  I mean, Wikipedia's article on the US has a map, I imagine.  "Oh, that's where New York is."

I'm surprised nobody's commented on how all these lists seem to have One Direction on them.  That's kinda disturbing. :P

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

Yeah, me too. I wasn't aware of them so far.
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.

Cause they envy us.  Also they can write whatever the fuck they want about us without know-it-all Americans correcting them.  I recall on EUOT, you'd always get some damn foreigner who would know more about the US then I did about their home country of Slovenia or whatever.

Which is always odd coming from Croats.  I remember this Indian guy going on about how the US was overreacting to 9-11.  I told him we weren't going to adopt the Indian model of just murdering a thousand of our citizens when something like that happened.  I suppose he assumed I didn't know about that train fire thingy and the riots afterwords.
