It actually chose Maryland for me.  I shit you not.

That seems awfully at odds with your globetrotting, world wandering ways.

It's not a very good test, really. I took the longer version, and it showed me as being conventional and non-creative. I know why given the questions asked, but I think the questions asked weren't very good.
Where's the longer test? :o (Love internet tests).

Apparently I belong in Colorado. Top 10 in openness and conscientiousness. Midtabley agreeable but not terribly extroverted or neurotic. I've actually always liked the sound of Colorado so that pleases me :)

QuoteCruz always sorta reminded me of a young LBJ.  But at least he doesn't have Forbes's creepy eyes.
I think he, rather unfortunately, has a look of young Joe McCarthy about him :lol:

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Russia leads in nuclear warheads?  That can't be right.  It must not be.

For a guy who has such a big fetish for bombers, you don't really pay attention to what they might be delivering, do you?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I thought they decommissioned a ton after their economy collapsed.

They did. They've gone from tens of thousands to about  3000.

That's the very reason why they haven't decommissioned lots, because they couldn't afford to do it. 

Whereas the US is more advanced in it's meeting their commitments, through not having a complete economic melt down. 
I wouldn't be surprised to find the US is helping and/or part financing Russian efforts.

Huh, looks like in this world Greece owns Istanbul.
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
