What's your country/state famous for?

[hungoverbear]

Lets see we got the great lakes, the Detroit red wings, Detroit it self (its a shit hole btw) The big 3 (Ford Chrysler and GM) and an extremely high unemployment rate. But the upper peninsula of Michigan is famous for being well, just plain beautiful

 

[Warwolt]

Don't forget about Fritzl!

Uh... Fritzl is from Austria, not Australia...

Anyways, Australia's famous for being pretty multicultural, an ecosystem uninhabitable by most sane people, our beer, Crocodile Dundee, the greeting "G'day mate", the development of penicillin for medical purposes, the Victor lawnmower, the clothes line, the tank, notepads, the highest number of Nobel laureates from the one nation... so yeh, not so much.

As for Sydney... we were originally a prison colony, the Cronulla Riots... gee, this is hard...

I know, was just checking if you got your facts straight.
