You posted and...well, tactitus' tables seem to have missed a decimal on the zikonian vs. destroyer by resource table, so im left to guess.

Dog without legs
I don't understand the joke. You said a dog with iron balls and no back legs would be called Sparky, however, I don't see how a dog with no back legs could achieve the required velocity to generate sparks.
Could you please explain the joke, to help me understand it?

That's awfully xenophobic of you, because mostly, we do.
Not wanting to slag you off or anything. I roughly know where every country in the world is. As do most people I know.

I wasn't saying that it was ethnocentric because most people don't know where foreign countries are,
I was saying it was ethnocentric because
A) He implied that everyone should know where England was, but knowing where Chad is is less vital
and
B) It assumes that people everywhere value geographic knowledge as much as he does.
If you were working with some tribe in Africa, and found out that the tribe members didn't know their multiplication tables, would you call them 'ignorant'? I think you would just understand that they don't value that the way you do.
Just wanted to clear up what I said. Anyway, he probably is an ignorant fcuk because we do value geography just as much as you, and everyone should know where the UK is because they are mentioned in every other news article anymore.
But I still found it to be ethnocentric.
ta, I'm off to the airport

Okido M8, I see your point.
Have a good flight.
