It says I'm Costa Rica

You're Costa Rica!
You're about as peaceful as anyone on the planet, a real dyed-in-the-wool pacifist. And why not? No one really poses much of a threat to you and everything seems to work out, no matter how much violence and insanity rages all around you. So you relax and appreciate nature and culture while the rest of the world carries on their petty disagreements.

Haaaaaaaaaa ha I'm Texas!

You aren't really much of your own person, but everyone around you wishes you'd go away, so you might as well be independent. You're sort of loud-mouthed and abrasive, but you do have a fair amount of power. You like big trucks, big cattle, and big oil rigs. And sometimes you really smell. But it's not all bad, you're big enough to have some soft spots somewhere in all that redneck madness.

And then I took the country Quiz II and this came up:

You're the Isle of Man!
Man, oh man! You are all but insignificant, but still maintain the ideal of being your own independent person. You're a firm believer in the trinity, although your loyalties to the concept may have more Pagan roots. And though you seem to be strong, you are ultimately completely at sea. You like cats, but really don't like their tails.

And then I took the animal quiz!
You're a Gila Monster!
While you like to wear bright and discordant clothing to warn people that you can be dangerous when provoked, most people merely take it to mean you have terrible fashion sense. You try not to care what they think, as you'd rather be on your own, looking around at bugs and rodents. Yes, you're a bit eccentric, though you really resent some of the names you've come to be known by. While many folks don't look for you at all, kids expect to see you at the airport.

Haha!!

I just took Country Quiz II

and it said

You're Mongolia!
People used to live in fear of your very name. Now, they just wonder whatever happened to you. Step by step, you became less of a juggernaut and more of a mild-mannered person who just really likes barbecue. But that's okay, you're much friendlier and perhaps even happier now in your old age. You used to be a fearsome wall-climber, but have managed to give that up as well. There is much debate amongst those who have not seen your midriff about whether you have an "innie" or an "outie".

Here's what it said for me...not sure how I should feel about it. blink.gif

You're Switzerland!
While most people think you're sort of stuck up, it's really
just that people don't interest you that much.  That's why you'd rather
just stay out of everything and be as neutral as possible.  Somewhere in
there is an ability to be a psychiatrist because you're so objective, but you
might just be too cold for that.

I took the first one and it came up with Vatican City (huh, what's with that?)... so I took the Country Quiz II...

You're Venezuela!
When you were young, you were idealistic. Everyone is to an extent, but you really had something special and vibrant about your hope to change the world. There were naysayers, but you brushed them aside with your charisma, charm, and clearly lofty ambition. Then, the tide started to turn. More and more, it looked like the detractors were right. Rather than fulfill your ideals, you were hungrily clinging to the attention your verbal espousal of them had brought you. Suddenly, you were just like everyone else. Now, it looks like the best hope may sadly be moving on. You always try to buy gas at Citgo.

Oh well...

OK, from the Country Quiz II:

You're Peru!
You like to shake, rattle, and roll as much as the next person.
And you've been doing so for a long time. You used to be a big fan of running, but
have slowed down a bit in recent years. Many are surprised at how influenced you
are by Japanese culture. You have been known to go by "Cuz". People really like
taking pictures in front of a very specific part of you.
----------------------------------

I have always hated running. The rest I just don't get!

...soooooooo you're not influenced by the crazy japanese culture then? You mean you don't do the "peace" sign whenever someone takes your picture?

You're Turkey!
You have a good deal of history behind you, both good and bad, but through it all, you've become a leader among your friends. You have an uncanny ability to make friends with people who hate each other, though sometimes you just hate them instead. Surprisingly fickle, you keep a good balance in your life between religion and humanism, but most people think you're fanatical anyway. You're Istanbul, you're Constantinople.

Did it say that I am Turkey...or I'm A Turkey?????

You're a Rabbit!
Sure-footed and exceptional at hearing, you have a great number of physical talents. While you do love carrots, you have an aversion to lettuce that no one seems to really believe. Looney Tunes have been your favorite cartoons for as long as you can remember. Though you'd never admit it, you've always wondered what it would feel like to be thrown into a briar patch. You really like, er, procreating, even more than most people.


..I'm sure my wife loves my fluffy little tail.....

OK I give up now....

You're The Dictionary!
by Merriam-Webster
You're one of those know-it-all types, with an amazing amount of knowledge at your command. People really enjoy spending time with you in very short spurts, but hanging out with you for a long time tends to bore them. When folks really need an authority to refer to, however, you're the one they seek. You're an exceptional speller and very well organized.
