Well, it's under Canada. Any fool can see that on a map.<g> I'd like to hear from non-U.S. posters: Does your country have anything analogous to the Pledge of Allegiance? If so, would anyone care if the words were changed? When is it recited? Is it a pervasive part of the culture?

First non-American president of World Clown Association A man from Merseyside has become the first non-American president elect of the World Clown Association. Arthur Pedlar, from Southport, will take up his role next April. He will preside over 3,000 clowns from around the world. The 69-year-old has been a part-time clown for 54 years, but since retiring has been able to concentrate more fully on his hobby. He appears in the Clown Hall of Fame, a museum dedicated to the history of clowns located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Another of his accolades is being requested by the old Soviet Union to perform in St Petersburg in 1991. He told Ananova about being made president elect of the World Clown Association. "It's a nice lollipop after all these years," he said. In July, he travels to Israel to teach clowning in the Galilee area, working with both Arabs and Jews. He will be working with The Galilee Foundation for Values Education (CRCT) Mathas, a non-profit organisation for community activities, and the Jerusalem Circus Association. He said: "The organisation I will be working with combines both sides of the divides, when I heard about what they are doing I asked if there was a clown section, and now I am going out there for a week to assess the situation and see what I can do."
