    It’s an illusion! Those teeny tiny short-shorts bathing suits just make people look bigger by contrast.

    But…you guys have less people that makes no sense. Did they factor that into their calculations? Well, I’m off to eat me a Cheescake Factory chocolate fudge sumfink or other cheesecake. ;)

    I agree with Scott Klebe … Americans will get right on fixing -that- statistic …

    Wow. I thought we had that title sewn up! Your pride reminds me of mine, when I learned that my own state (Oregon) led the nation in hunger and unemployment. I actually AM kind of proud that we have the least churches per capita, though. Hurray for the godless!

    Really? Wow, that’s kinda surprising, considering it gets pretty hot there. You’d think everyone would sweat it off. Hmm. You shouldn’t worry though Justine! We all know you’re perfectly in shape! =) I agree with the people who say America is gonna catch up. *Sits down with strawberry newtons*

    WOW! Is that really true about Oregon?
