True to that, but indepnedent from British nonetheless. I just took a shot with that one and it can be deleted, I'm not picky. Oh, by the way I didn't mean to skip ya, I just didn't see your post before mine. Sorry.

No, we'll leave it in ;) Otherwise, except for East Timor, we're stuck with only the Balkan States and the old Sovjet Republics. I'm trying to think of somewhere else in the world, but can't seem to find one yet ;)

Just a note on here.. The type ray that killed Steve Irwin was a Bull Ray. I don't know if you were being serious or just kidding around, but I think that was pretty sick.
