DUDE! awesome. Like one of those population ones where it is darker the more people there are, or a dot for each person?
Think we can convince TWT to give us a breakdown of every boardie? lol. Or maybe we will have a voluntary sign up.

There are a few. In fact, I feel like there is an Australian boardie marriage, but I could be wrong. But I think the answers as to number of boardies per country would lie in the band's success in various countries in combination with a countries population. In fact, I ber some smart mathy boardie could make a formula.
Usually when Rachel has a question about another country, she tells me to ask someone one the Travis board. (She has grown up with this, you see.) Recently she had a question about Australia and to her amazement, I do not know any Australians. |

| US coins. A penny says, "one cent," a nickel says, "five cents," a quarter says, "quarter dollar," but a dime says, "one dime." A foreigner would have no clue how much a dime is. Even "quarter dollar" could be difficult if you're new to our money and in a hurry. |

Another money thing. I was watching Felicity last night, and the character of Ben seemed to be really inspecting a bill that was handed to him at Dean & Deluca. I decided that was because Scott Speedman (the dreamy Canadian actor who plays Ben) was confused as to what bill it was since they are all green.
I just checked our coins and they all say the amount of cents. Loonie said "Canadian dollar." I dont have a toonie on me though. But google images tells me it says '2 dollars'
Annie is going to make fun of my money tomorrow, isnt she? |

Of course she is.
The other confusing thing to me when I was a kid was, if a dime is worth 10¢, why is it smaller than the 1¢ and 5¢ coins? |

Sometimes I think that my husband's job is all an elaborate cover-up for his true career as a spy. I've asked him about this but he says no. But he'd be trained to lie, right? |

No! While we did consume some alcohol she went to get some water and I got a Sprite to give to a guy as a joke (though that didn't go quite as planned...) |
