Rev 4 beta status

[Andre Garzia]

Here in Brazil our image of scotland is that of cheesy actors wearing
kilts choping the heads out of their foes with swords while the queen
is playing and Sir Sean Connery is smiling pretending to be spanish...

*joke*ducks*

which is better than what the average european or american thinks
Brazil is.... during travels, I had to answer the following very
peculiar questions:
1) Do you live in a jungle with indians? Me: Yes, My Father is the
shaman and eat the catholic priest to aquire his powers of chocolate
making.
2) Do you really walk naked on the street? Me: Yes, but I am forbidden
to do that by law because people were falling in love all the time.
3) What about all the wild animals like lions and elephants? Me: Once
I had to shoo a lion with a broom, he was just there on my living room
licking my baby elephant, the lion though it was his child.
4) How come your a software developer, do you have electricity or
computers there? Me: no we don't, my computer is crank powered and was
smuggled on elephants into the country.
5)  All you are soccer stars, do you know Pelé? Me: Yes I had an
agreement with him, he teached me how to code and I teached him how to
play soccer.

The list goes on forever... Even U.S. Presidents on official visits
had the location of the country and it's capital wrong.... ARGH!
during school here I had to learn the basic history of each single
american, european and asiatic countries. During my university exams,
I had questions on politics and geography from hundreds years past for
countries such as France, China, India. Questions about the russian
revolution and african cleptocracies. Now, people can't locate my
country on a map... at least people know where Scotland is...
