Australia's famous for lots of things mate! I'm from Brisbane, Queensland - and Australia gave the world that clothes line thingy, the damper bread, "g'day mate" and "that's not a knife, THIS is a knife". All jokes aside, Australian scientists are really good. My state, Queensland, gave the world the first "anti-cervical cancer" vaccine and the world's first working scram-jet, both courtesy of my Universtiy, the University of Queensland, St. Lucia Campus.

[Da Joz]

My hometown is known for producing low educated, racist, thick skulled drains on society.

FYI Im from a small town in central NY and thankfully an exception to what I said.

 

[Agayek]

Country: The US of A. Famous for being colossal assholes and the self-appointed police of the universe.

Dumb hippy's who ride bikes
The Not quite as good as Washington state.

Matt Groening.

 

[murphy7801]

England is apparantly famous for being very tolorant. but then we hate the welsh, the scottish, the irish, and most of the rest of the englsih, as well as the rest of the world. you have to be very tolorant to put up with that lot

[murphy7801]

[daegranos]

Windmills.
Wooden shoes (everyone thinks we wear them, but we don't!)
Geert Wilders.

Ha! Alaska has bigger mountains.. they're just government property.
We are also famous for oil, polarbears, and ,well, beautiful scenery.
We are also infamous for Sarah Palin.

 

[Nargleblarg]

My country is famous for being fat,lazy,stupid, also somehow the idea we are extremely patriotic like every citizen is willing to take a bullet for the flag to protect it, (quick quiz try to guess the country)

My State (sorry if that gives the quiz ^ away) but my state (Missouri) is famous for everyone being a skeptic which is very true.

 

[Nargleblarg]

We are also infamous for Sarah Palin.

lucky wish we had her
also your state is famous for being able to see Russia from there (for any non-americans this is a inside joke)

 

[ae86gamer]

Illinois is famous for.... uh... Abe Lincoln.

 

[concrete89]

Sweden is famous for the Gothenburg metal, have shot a man up in space (Krister Fuglesang), having sexy women, and...well, that's all I've got so far. I'll come up with more later.

In Flames ftw. And were there many Swedish vikings?

I WANNA RAPE AND PILLAGE!

 

[Simalacrum]

England - Highest Teenage Pregnancy Rate In Europe.

amen for that and God bless the Queen

we're also famous for fish and chips, the queen, and a rather rowdy parliament ^^ (seriously, ever heard an argument going on in there? they happen frequently )

 

[thealmightykain]

Canada: mounties, maple syrup, hockey, having a highly trained but laughably equipped army, Just For Laughs, liberating Holland in WW2 (they still like us for that apparently), totally inhumane seal hunting (lol) and... Quebec separatism.

BC: Internationally - tonnes of weed, Hell's Angels, the gold rush (which got us a railroad YAY!) and many, many Chinese people,

Within Canada - All the international fame plus being the province so desperate for attention from the east we'll elect almost anybody. Hell, some ridings almost elected the Rhinoceros Party.

 

[Silva]

Australia: mate (even though it's something the British use about as much), very good organic food produce, good beer, the worst obesity rates in the world, and strangely, a life expectancy that's actually very high. Before fatness became apparently a disease, we were third in the world.

New South Wales... Sydney, bogans, and therefore Cronulla. Worst skin cancer rates you can find because people still think tanning is healthy (fail).

On the win side... further North where I am; rainforests, nice beaches, cleaner air than in most countries in the Earth.

"No, that's a spoon.

I see you've played Knifey Spoony* before."
