Phooey. I should've guessed Vatican City.
Name the top five countries by population. All five required but correct order is not.

Country hey? India and China would have to be the highest... or are they nations? I get confused easily. Anyway, marching along in ignorance, let's say South Africa, Mexico, and... um... Japan?

China, India, United States, Russia, Mexico?

Jen has her first three in order. Russia is ninth and Japan tenth.

China, India, US, Indonesia and Canada. (Canada always gets short shrift.) While searching for books recently I came across Canadian History For Dummies. My first thought was "Huh?" Then I thought "Well, duh, of course Canada has history." I have a friend in Toronto, and even I sometimes shortchange Canada. I mean, Poutine, come on. Who wants to eat french fries covered in cheese curd and beef gravy?
So I'm adding Canada to Jen's list in hopes of making Canada feel a bit better about itself.

I've had french fries in gravy (in Canada, of course!), and it is delicious! Cheese curds, in my opinion, would only add to the melange of flavors.
China, India, United States, Brazil, Indonesia? South America—the overlooked continent.

I did not remove the image I posted. The board software went nuts for a bit and there was no "Reply to post" button, nor could I click on "Edit your post". Hhmmpphh! Even WordPress gives Canada no respect. [Image Can Not Be Found]

There's a place here that does poutine with duckfat. Expensive but one hell of a lunch. The curds add texture, no real flavor. It's a very Jen meal and…

The top twenty in order are China, India, USA, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Russia, Japan, Mexico, and then a bunch that surprised me: Philippines, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Germany, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Democratic Republic of Congo and Thailand.
Canada is #36 with a population matching that of a couple of the world's largest cities combined.
The old USSR would've been in the top five. India would be the largest had it not been carved up in the 40s.

Dang! Thanks for nothing, sweet Finky [Image Can Not Be Found]
The map is interesting. I live in a white white white area. Of course, the biggest ethnic group around here is Russians, and they are white.
What is the highest mountain in South America (whilst we're on the topic)?

That map is interesting. I am part of the 2% non-white in my neighborhood. Reinforcing what I already knew. [Image Can Not Be Found]

Sorry, I forgot that you posted a new question.
You mean more than a general "The Andes", don't you? I can't recall any individual names of peaks although I'm sure I have read of some.
I'll keep thinking.

Is it K2?

No, sweetie, that's in the Himalayas.
Methinks this question is a dud. The answer is Aconcagua, Argentina, at 22,834 feet/6,960 meters. I'll ask another.
What country is this in?

Wow, no effing clue, but that's cool. I'm going to stick with the South American theme and guess ... Chile?
And trust me, everyone, poutine is fucking brilliant. I live within a 7 minute walking distance of 3 shops that specialize in poutine. Two of them have "Poutine" in the name of their stores. The word "poutine" is apparently not even a word on these English-bastardizing American forums!
French fries + cheese curds + gravy is the greatest concoction of all time. Here are a few variations for the adventurous types:
- Pulled pork poutine
- Bacon poutine
- Curry chicken poutine
- Montreal poutine (this includes shaved Montreal smoked meat + mustard + topped with a dill pickle)
- Chili poutine
- Nacho grande poutine (tomato salsa + sour cream + guacamole + jalapeno peppers)
- Country style poutine (chicken breast + double smoked bacon + sauteed mushrooms + caramelized onions)
It's good soul food. By that I mean it's good for the soul, but not the heart.

I'm so sorry if I offended you, xtal, or any of the other wonderful Canadians who are a part of the TAP family (Oh, Helmut. Where are you?). I guess poutine is an acquired taste. If I'd grown up with it I might love it too -although I would have given it up before now in the interest of cutting my total fat intake (how boring is that?)
I, myself, love, LOVE cabbage and brussel sprouts cooked in many ways, but noone else in my family does. To each his own.
I shall now go praise poutine from my rooftop! [Image Can Not Be Found] And maybe, just maybe, I should go buy a copy of Canadian History for Dummies as I am clearly in need of it.

Sorry, Jen, I digress.
Is that Sugarloaf Mountain? If so, I can't remember where it is. Argentina? Brazil? No clue.
