i was only riffing on the post and conversation you were having with twinA,
concerning The Simpsons and Mr. Burns. I'm not actually advocating cheating.

This country is nicknamed "The Warm Heart of Africa."

hmm. Africa's tough, so many countries. Dem. Rep. of the Congo?

reply

[–] GlenEllyn (21054) 5 years ago

I agree; Africa's tough. I'm not familiar with very many countries there. Sorry, DRC is incorrect, although it's "in the neighborhood."

Lots of guesses, but none are right. I'll take pity and tell folks that it's Malawi. It's something I didn't know until recently. I became aware of Malawi when I watched "Long Way Down," the documentary with Ewan McGregor and Charlie Bowman about their motorbike trip from the northern tip of Scotland to Capetown, South Africa back in 2007. I really enjoyed both of their trips (the first one was "Long Way Round" in 2004 when they traveled from London through Europe, Asia and North America to New York City).

Malawi has a lot of natural parks and wildlife reserves.
I enjoyed the challenge, Glen.
Did you know that Africa is the most ethnically diverse continent in the world, people-wise?

That (most ethnically diverse) is something I did not know.

I'll never understand why people are so afraid of those who are different from them. Differences make life interesting.

I appreciate people who take care of what they have and I've read that Cubans do it out of necessity but it's a good lesson. Too many first-world countries have disposable societies.

It does make sense if you look at the first and second maps on this site.

Yes, I looked it up. Here, supposedly, is how to pronounce it.

[–] sslssg (27263) 5 years ago

That's the first time I've ever heard it pronounced thanks.

Since you have hippomonstrosesquippedaliophobia I just have to say that that is really floccinaucinihilipilification. ( I know it doesn't totally make sense but it's so difficult to use in a sentence)
