2635...We May Suck At Soccer

And our, for want of another word, indigenous English TV may suck, but we are happy.

FinancialJesus.com lists the happiest countries on the planet.

We be number 8 with a score of 7.6; Denmark is number 1 with a score of 8.2. The Yankees are 17th, 7.4 and the Brits are 22, 7.1.

Denmark also has a lot of taxes, "...according to Wikipedia Denmark has the worlds highest taxes! When buying a car in Denmark one has to pay 25% VAT to the import price of the vehicle and then a 180% registration tax on top. That means when a car sells for $20 000, you have to pay an additional $45 000 as taxes for the government (total of $65 000)."

Bike, please.

    Ever heard of an internet search engine? Took me about 1 second of looking for myself because I thought that was crazy as well.

    I guess if anybody would know about registration taxes in Denmark, it would b the Danish Minstry of Taxation: http://www.skm.dk/foreign/english/taxindenmark2008/6649/#104

    Guess who is stupid now? You.

    BTW, Denmark looks like a Liberal utopia.
