World Slovenia Day would be great! Probably the best way to get great free publicity - something our politicians can’t achieve even with all their millions. On the other side, “hug a Slovenian” might cause a lot of raised eyebrows.

This is not America! If there’ll be “Hug a Slovenian Day”, I’ll seriously consider switching to IE.

I’d much rather have a “Chase a Slovenian Girl Day”

Michael, thank u very much for linking me.

But just recently I watched this episode about US Survivalists - these guys live in the middle of Idaho, and firmly believe that a conspiracy theory called “The new world order” will soon come true (Something about UN forces invading them :)).
So they live in bunkers and have huge amounts of firearms, they dont have registred cars, they dont pay taxes - in order to protect them selfs, from the federal goverment.

But the truth behind this wacky people is totally diferent - check it out:

Tomaz: I honestly don’t think Americans are any crazier than other people; I’ve met plenty of Europeans who are about as paranoid as those NWO nutters. (There seem to be tons of 9/11 conspiracists here, for example.) I guess America has some unique peculiarities, owing to its gun laws and what-not but no one has the copyright on crazy.

Speaking of Louis, though, he also has a book, “The Call of the Weird,” that I’d like to read.

Simon: Hooray! The more the merrier..

@ Michael:

If they’d use Linux I’d be really happy about it. But the use of Mozilla and the one of Windows are on the same level: approx. 60 %. People aren’t consequent…

The crazist Americans i ever saw was in this documentary about Camp Jesus. It’s the kind of movie that makes you scared of americans. I had to wash it off with some old american punk afterwards..

There’s still one waiting with your name tag. Make it a surprise for the missus. Or… get her over here and I’m betting you’ll be walking away with at least two of them
