I was looking into going to Germany for vacation. I wanted to see how much of that country I could see. I hadn’t realized how large it is.

There are 10 E.U. nations larger than New Mexico? Wow. Of course, I have to question the “European” status of Kazakhstan…

I guess I’m a weirdo too, then, because I also find this sort of stuff interesting. So – what are the other EU nations larger than New Mexico?
Okay – I found them. I decided to click on the arrow and find out what happens.
I really like this plugin for tables. It’s all “professional” looking and whatnot.
