Let me clarify that I didn't mean I wouldn't ace it, I just meant it'd be harder than just 3 countries!
Then again, if they included Canadian provinces, I might not be so smug... and Mexico has 31 states (as I just learned) so maybe I'd be right back down to 62%!
To drag this out too far, I used hell as a meaningless intensifier, like Bernie Taupin did.
For hell to be literally hot it would have to exist first.
Coincidentally, when I googled "in fact it's cold as hell" just now, to make sure I was about to spell Bernie's name right, the first hit was someone's blog talking about how cold it is here in my mystery location. Try it yourself if you really care what sick place I'm in! =)
In this case I thought Geddy was an odd enough name that it belonged in the quiz.
Why shouldn't I be open about liking (and yes, even loving) my favorite band? (What does nationality have to do with anything? Other Canadian prog-rock I can take or leave... The only two I can even name are Max Webster and Triumph.)
This is cool, very cool, but I am personally offended that they identify one of the main qualities of my favorite band, Rush, as "an unintelligible vocal delivery"!
I watched it again just to make sure I hadn't missed the point or something. The only further comment I have is that I suppose I might have found it more amusing back in my herbal refreshment days...
I never said I don't love Brad! We all do. I just thought his usual aim was off in posting this pointless, mildly amusing, marginal link. The execution was great, it just wasn't very funny. There was no insult to Brad implied.
Narcissism is obviously required to think anyone cares what a commentator thinks about anything!
Diton, your links were not "always" rejected. When you submitted that old face transformer link and Brad accidentally let it through, it probably didn't help your chances with later submissions...
Needs boobies.
I hope I don't get on some FBI list for having looked at this.

I'd like to see the same thing done with US states. Maybe North America wouldn't be so easy then!
Where's Brad, anyway? This and the Banana over Texas should be shoo-ins.
Perhaps anything attracting over X comments on the Submitted Links page (from different members, of course) should be upgraded automatically?
It's one more step toward eventually having a giant Coke logo on the moon!
Ya, hey.
Ahhh, irony!

This would be literally awesome. I'd even consider braving Texas to see it.
It's cold as hell, I'll give you that!
amesbr, see if you can guess: we call drinking fountains, the kind where you press a lever and cold water shoots out in a stream, "bubblers"!
Around here we use soda, pop, and soda pop interchangeably.
What an ironically inane insult.
If you were an Aussie, a Tube Crisis would be when you run out of beer!
62%, better than I expected to do!
This may be even more serious than even I had at first been imagining.
Busted? Take That? Bucks Fizz?

Look at the source code of the web page to see all the questions and answers.
I was disappointed Geddy, Alex and Neil weren't in there...
I thought it was the astronaut who actually did the experiment talking, from onboard the spacecraft he did it on.
Whatever I get for listening to the best band in the world, I can handle!
(So don't bother!)

Um, you'd have to at least be around people for anyone to be impressed by your cell phone ringing, I would think...
And there is a limit of 5 calls per number, so Schatt's idea is a no-go...
I had it call my wife with the Affirmation call while I sat at the computer watching her, it was pretty funny!
It's back now.

Broken Link! (pun intended)

I expect more from Brad's own (self-approved) submissions. And should all comments be along the lines of "Awesome, dude!"?
Yeah, Brad, this wasn't up to your usual standard, it rated a smirk at best.
The execution was clever, but it could and should have been way funnier.
I got kind of turned on, playing a hot cartoon chick.
Menstruation gets approved, and this doesn't? This was 100x more fun than that was interesting...
