I've made that connection as well. It seems our economy is based on building really huge things...and Tiger Woods playing golf on our 7-star hotel.

Nebraska - Hating gay people so much they made a movie about it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0171804/
Growing Corn and lots of it
umm birthplace of uhh... Marlon Brando, Fred Astaire, Malcom Little (aka Malcom X aka El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz) that Pro Wrestler 'Sting', Former US President Gerald Ford, both Henry and Peter Fonda, Jaime King (Goldie in Sin City), Nick Nolte, Conor Oberst, Johnny Carson, Oh and Warren Buffet one of the richest men in the world.

and last but not least
L. Ron Hubbard founder of Scientology.
That movie is against transsexuals, not gays. Isn't it?
She had sex with other women pretty sure that's gay. Yes, I suppose I could've been more specific and pointed out that she was transsexual as well. More proof, Were also the FIRST state that made a law banning gay marriage and civil unions. This is what happens when 2/3 of your population lives in communities with less than 1,000 people.

Also her murderer is very upset:

That article just reports that Lotter is selling his clothes, just fyi.

I was just saying, it seemed to me that they were more mad that she was a transsexual than that she was gay.
Judging by your other posts on this thread I can see you are very nitpicky. Anyway Nebraska hates gay people in general it's pretty popular pastime here. Sorry if me linking a movie where a gay/transgendered/different person gets killed was confusing.

You forgot Derek Jeter and Lindsay Tarpley (both from Kalamazoo!!!), having a place named Kalamazoo, President Ford's Alma Mater from U of M and his residence in Lansing, having a town named HELL, Vernors, Kelloggs, Harry Blackstone (Magician)
I am sorry that these probably only mean anything if you are from the U.S.

Apart from the oldest buildings still intact from history, being in perpetual deep shit, nobody knows it exists, rollercoaster buses with versatile Heavies as drivers, 24 and of course the being confused with a confection.

Malta's not exactly a very promising country. :p

Naw, I've seen the movie, that's why I was wondering if it was really the same one I watched. No biggie.

I'm just a sucker for accurate facts, what can I say? Mozart was Austrian, the Berlin Wall was in... Berlin, Beethoven was also Austrian.

All else is irrelevant.
You forgot french fries!
And you forgot the wonderful people at H&K- gods among the firearms industry!

Let's see what we've got here then:

Henrik Ibsen, sucky national football team, good at winter sports (born with skis on legs, you know), Peer Gynt, and the best of all: New wave of Norwegian black metal.

Can't come up with anything else at the moment.

Some technological wonder like MP3 maybe? Although Germany isn't really known for it, but it was developed at the Fraunhofer Institut.

No he wasn't. He lived in Vienna but was born in Bonn, the former German capital (although it was not capital at the time when Beethoven lived).

Tulips, windmills, wooden shoes and weed are the first things that come to mind. Oh, and we also have the largest cheese export in the world. (Edam and Gouda being the most famous)
