I actually got all of those right except the Panama hat one (geussed Brazil). Nice find. :)

haha.. thats a nice one :P

Your general knowledge amazes me Twine!!

I'm always learning and reading about general stuff. Most of it is completely useless knowledge that I'll never have a use for (as in this case), but I believe the broader our knowledge, the better we can be in life, lol.

As for the Panama hat thing... I KNEW that the obvious answer (Panama) would be wrong... so I took a chance, lol.

Got all those except the canaries
