	Too America-centric. Sporcle is a bunch of elitist a-holes.

	Sarcasm is so under appreciated. :-/

	Why is Upper Austria right next to Lower Austria? How does that work?

	mountains :)

	@Jason...maybe it has to do with topography.

	in Ohio, the town of Upper Sandusky is actually SOUTH of Sandusky. This is because it is UPSTREAM on the Sandusky River, which flows north.

	@Deej: That's quite common, the Upper Nile is in Southern Egypt, while the Lower Nile is in Northern Egypt. Don't forget, "up" does not mean North.

	Apparently some Sporclers lack a sense of humor.

	@mkgrenwel: There's something funny about somebody posting `This quiz is too American-centric!' or `too country X centric!' whenever there's a Sporcle quiz about a country that isn't the USA? It was kind of funny the first time. The second time, less so. The twentieth time? Yaaaaawn.

	I wrote '****' because there's a town in Austria by that name...but I got 2/9, the obvious, Vienna and Salzburg (home of Mozart). I gotta brush up on my geography.

	mkgrenwel: next time say "In case you can't tell, I'm being sarcastic". ;)

	9/9 but took longer than it should have. You should of course be able to use the Austrian names for their lands. Here it is all mixed up. While you are able to use Wien, Ober Österreich and Steiermark the quiz does not allow you to type Kärnten and Nieder Österreich. Great quiz nevertheless and about time. When do we get the cantons og Switzerland?

	weizenugb:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 19:04 GMT	2 points
	9/9 Thanks to my German major!

	davidr:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 19:12 GMT	10 points
	@Zala G.: Actually, the village is called **ing, not **. Also, there's a Wankdorf in Switzerland.

	Beautiful Country, Great Quiz.

	@davidr: Considering how much time you spend on here and not out in the real world, I don't think you have much room to call other people "boring." ;-)

	bondjamesbond:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 19:27 GMT	5 points
	@Tired of Davidr: True that.

	jesus:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 19:41 GMT	1 point
	@Tired of davidr: You are amazing. Which other Sporcler are you?

	swellwrench:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 20:00 GMT	13 points
	hahaha, clearly it's impossible to create an interactive website of any kind without a bunch of stupid drama appearing. I would have thought a quiz site with a simple comments section might be immune, but nope...

	JAJDH:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 20:05 GMT	6 points
	Can't believe I missed Vienna! Beethoven is rolling in his ****ing grave.

	^-- My one and only name;-)

	I feel that I should stick up for davidr, because not only are probably each and every one of you who visits this website day after day (myself included) just as nerdy and trivia-loving as him, but you all also still find time to function as normal human beings in the real world. The fact that he posts so often on these boards just means that he is smart enough to explain himself well, and confident enough to know that he has the right information. Try and tell me you haven't learned something from him. Also try and tell me those of you who are hostile to him don't feel a little inferior. I think davidr should be proud he has such a following on this site, that someone would make an account devoted to being tired of him!

	zalagreensbury:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 21:02 GMT	13 points
	davidr, you sure know a lot about '****ing'.

	@ Tim Welch: I'm not impressed by Davidr's Wikipedia skills. Until today, I have ignored his incessant commenting as his own choice, but an unwarranted stab at an obviously sarcastic comment merited a response. P.S. Do you really think he should be proud that people are tired of him? REALLY?

	lulubelles:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 21:22 GMT	8 points
	i agree with tim welch, unless you know davidr in real life and know him to be a boring guy then stfu. Also naming your account in such a petty way kinda tells me what kind of person you are, and its not complimentary, trust me

	beatrix kiddo:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 21:26 GMT	8 points
	no love for davidr today from people? sometimes i like his comments, sometimes i don't. but if i ever met him in the real world i'd expect him to look exactly like the gargoyle. back to austria - i got a couple, but it's not my speciality.

	davidr:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 21:35 GMT	10 points
	@beatricekiddo: I have slightly better skin-tone than the gargoyle.

	SowCrates:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 21:46 GMT	4 points
	Sporcle is my fantasy football off-season nicotine patch. Fantasy football forced a necessity on me to spend a regular amount of time on one or multiple sites every day.

	SowCrates:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 21:53 GMT	4 points
	So Davidr, would you look more like this in person?

	MovieDynamic:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 22:40 GMT	-1 points
	Doesn't look like Australia!

	R:	Mar 10th, 2009 at 22:43 GMT	3 points
	The time is way, way too long. Naming 9 items should be doable in 90 seconds, anything more is just a sign of USA-centrism.

	Gott sei Dank. Endlich a Quiz über Österreich. Es lebe der Davidr!

	ajax:	Mar 11th, 2009 at 00:49 GMT	10 points
	@MovieDynamic, Sydney wouldn't have come up if you WERE playing the Australian states game.

	Cuthbert_Twilley:	Mar 11th, 2009 at 00:52 GMT	7 points
	@Tired of Davidr: what do you care if davidr likes to comment? I thought the sarcasm was funny, he didn't, big deal. His comments are interesting or useful often enough that I'm quite happy he's out there. What would you prefer, everybody say "FIRST!" or "3 out of 336, that was sure hard"?

	karinaedge:	Mar 11th, 2009 at 00:56 GMT	5 points
	wow, i thought i left the whole austria/australia thing back in elementary school. 9/9 for the canadian austrian. yay quiz lol
