Can you tell me one interesting fact about your country that not many people know.?

Answer 1

Australia have an animal that not many people know about. It is not mentioned in any tourist advertising because the Australian government has tried to keep it a secret. Anyway the animal is called a Dropbear and looks very similar to a Koala bear. The only difference is that it drops from the trees when someone walks beneath them and have very long claws and razor sharp teeth. When they fall, they give out a low growl which is said to be the only noise you hear when being attacked. They are very territorial and will scratch and bite until you have left their area. It's suggested that when you go walking through the Australian bush that you walk looking up into the trees trying to find the dropbears before they find you...

Answer 2

Five-cent coins minted from 1942 to 1945 aren't nickels... Why? Because they don't have any nickel in them! During that time, the United States Mint used a special wartime alloy instead—copper (56%), silver (35%), and manganese (9%). That way all the saved nickel could be used in the war effort.

I hope this is interesting!?!

Answer 3

The United States has more over weight people then any country in the world. We are the "Fast Food Nation"!

Answer 4

"Hej SLAVeni!" was the ex-YugoSLAVIA's antem which had to be sung also by Albanians from Kosova, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia...

Imagine!!! Although nothing in common, except for the territory (obviously occupied by SLAVS), Albanians, Hungarians and some other ethnicities had to sing the antem that addresses only the SLAVIC people even though in that territory there were those others in great numbers (e.g. Albanians representing 1/3)!

Isn't that a good-enough-reason for us Kosova Albanians to work for independence? Isn't that a clear sign that Kosova/o does not represent a precedent in the world by going independent?

Those that understand Serbo-Croat language, here's the original text:

Hej Slaveni, još ste živi,
riječ naših djedova,
dok za narod srce bije
njihovih sinova.

živi, živi duh slavenski
živjet će v'jekov'ma
zalud prijeti ponor pakla
zalud vatra groma.

Nek se sada i nad nama
burom sve raznese,
stijena puca, dub se lama,
zemlja nek se trese.

Mi stojimo postojano
kano klisurine,
proklet bio izdajica
svoje domovine.

For ALL others:
NOthing in the above text tells that Kosova Albanians should have stayed joined with that creature (YugoSLAVia) except that we were occupied by SLAVS.

What I wrote now, doesn't indicate that we cannot live next to each-other as good neighbors; It's only that we can NO LONGER live under the SLAVic rule.
