Dave Berry: The Year in Review
In December the Wikileaks revealed that:
• The Republic of Tajikistan and the Republic of Uzbekistan frequently, as a prank, exchange places in the United Nations, and nobody has ever noticed.
• High-ranking officials of Scotland, speaking in private, admit that they don’t understand what the hell they’re saying either.
• In 2007, Hungary paid $170 million to Russia for pictures of Sweden naked.
How's that for cultural penetration?
