Right, I know there have been similar polls but afaik there hasn't been one that merely asked for which continent SPers come from. I'll start. I'm from Asia.

I live in Newfoundland, Canada. It's that semi-big, triangularish island NE of Maine. Originally, from Iowa, USA. No wonder we have a lot in common, Fel. One of my 'hometown boys' played for the Packers when they won the Superbowl. <dr. evil> How *convinient*. </dr. evil> :cool:

:borg: Memory faulty. Gimme a sec to Google for his name.

Thanks to my trustworth hubby who, frankly, has my other half of the memory chip today ;) , Googled and found Bryce Paup, 1996 Defensive Player of the Year. He currently plays for the Buffalo Bills.

Asia. Guys like Sniper and I are either honest or simply dont bother to draw on our imagination enough to invent new places.

PS: I'd like to know who logs on to SP all the way from Africa and Antartica.

Manitoba, Canada. Alpine skiing, deep-sea fishing, tropical beaches - all in one place. Or at least it would be if we were close to the equator and had nearby mountains and oceans.

Wellllll, I suppose I could give it a try ;)

I come from the land that had the largest Empire in the world at one stage. I also come from the land that invented 'Fish and Chips' and had great people like Winston Churchill. I also come from the land that sent every ship it had in its possession, great and small to rescue the soldiers stranded on Dunkirk (sp) after the Nazi Blitzkrieg into France

Hows that? :)

I'm from Denmark. If anyone's wondering where in the nine hells this country is, - it's northern Europe, or rather: Scandinavia. If you're still in doubt, it's the country Al-Qaeda got mixed up with Sweden when first threatening the occupiers of Iraq (or was that Afghanistan? Nevermind), e.g. They thought we were Sweden, *tsk tsk*.

We' re the inventors of - well, nothing really. But hey! We were Vikings once, so that'll have to do :D .

Oh, btw. We've got (or had) the worlds largest pork export that might be real reason why Al-Qaeda's so mad with us :p .

USA - The Woodlands, Texas, - north of Houston. Yes, it's in the middle of a forest, and all the trees helps to shield us from the dirty smog and polluted air of Houston. And that makes me very happy. :grin:

Bah. Apparently I come from nowhere because there is no option on this poll to indicate where I am from. What option should people from countries like Papua New Guinea, Fiji, The Maldives, The Seychelles, Tahiti, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Niue, Tonga, Western Samoa, or NEW ZEALAND have to shoe-horn themselves into in order to be able to answer this poll question? :(

HB - Although it does not appear on the poll, I think that part of the world is known as "Oceania," but that may be an Americanized name for it. :hmm:

Maybe I should put 'Antartica' seeing as there is a section of that continent (the Ross dependency) which is legally under New Zealand's jurisdiction.

Re: Australia/New Zealand area

According to a Google search many geographers are now calling that area of the world Australia/Oceania.

Re: Australia/New Zealand area

According to a Google search many geographers are now calling that area of the world Australia/Oceania. "Australia" is a country so it won't suffice as the name of a continent / region (it would be like saying that Mexico is in the USA). "Australasia" would be acceptable as the area containing Australia, New Zealand, and Papua New Guinea, but still excludes the Pacific islands. So "Oceania" would appear to be the best word to use for the missing "continent" in this survey.

Finland, Europe. The emerald of the north. :p

@Chev, aaww you remembered Mannerheim? This would not be a desperate attempt to gain back all the credibility you lost when you forgot to mention him in a thread a year ago or so? ;)

Harbourboy, since people living in the USA are now called "Americans" I thought Mexico, Canada and everthing else is in the USA. :p Guess one is never to old to learn. :geezer:

Nope. You can't edit a poll after you start it. That's why it warns you so many places to make sure you got it right before you finalize it.
