Every time I'm at Ikea I think how cool it would be to get yourself locked in there overnight...

Looking for Jake, there's a great ghost story set at an IKEA-like place. Creepy as hell & well worth checking out.

My country is most famous for the holocaust; people from all over Europe come to see our concentration camps. Our history is mostly one defeat after another, occassional victories are never taken advantage of. Because our leaders are only ones who don't realize how insignificant we are, we ended up as the butt of European Union, and are frequently used by the USA. Our main exports are jokes and Kasia.

Koki, if you post something positive, and by positive I mean something more than tepid like of some obscure videogame, I'll give you a dollar.

Anyway I'm from Ohio, the US. We're the state right under Michigan, which is that big hand-shaped state (and the jizzstain that is the northern part of Michigan.) Ohio is best known for farmland, 15% of the country's steel, farmland, the worst governor this side of Chicago (at least 'til Ted Strickland got elected, he's merely incompetent), farmland, antique stores, farmland, and four of the top 20 most dangerous cities in America. Also, farmland.

The ball pit one right? I loved that book; my favorites were the excerpt from the medical encyclopedia, and the one with the streets, the "Viae Ferae".
And on topic, US here, can't think of anything interesting to say about it.:erg:

Thanks Thirith, I'll have a look for it.
Koki's keepin' it real and ends up the butt of the thread. Story of his life.

Yeah, pretty hard to think of anything positive to say about the USA in contemporary times. Although the continual violation of its citizens' privacy and constitutional rights and the genocide of the nation's lower class youth via a prolonged occupation (as a result of an illegitimate war) are pretty damn sweet, eh?
