I got 3 out of 11, & I had to GUESS the answers for all of them, & I read the News on the Net & watch it sometimes on TV,...I gotta stop watch Jon Steward & Steven Colbert, obviously they are not keeping me well informed. LOL
Nice to know that the average for guessing the answers, of 30% correct, still holds true.

I know that I had an incredibly bad year. Second year of unemployment, rented my house out to the most worthless human being on earth (no rent for four months and destroyed the house), moved in with my brother who lost his job in June, filed garnishment papers against former renter, former renter filed bankruptcy. had two wrecks (my fault) after having only one other one in my whole life, and I owe the IRS $3,500 from my unemployment and IRA deductions. Oh, and my house in going on the auction block next month. All in all, I can't say I really care about what is going on in other countries considering my little corner of the world is such a disaster. Happy New Year, everybody!

nice try.
my advice for you is to select more "substantial" topics upon which to fabricate in order to bolster your, obviously low, self-esteem.
fyi: it took me only 41 seconds to formulate and type this response..., hmm.

Exactly and that is why I get my informatio­n from various sources including foreign newspapers and foreign news media. Being multi-ling­ual is also a good thing.
