It's the ".01" in the factor of winningness that seals the deal for me. You know, just in case there was some doubt. [In reply to] Can't Post

I was sick of finding unlikely countries that could wage a fair fight with each other. I wanted to WIN.

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

Thanks, that's a fun tool. [In reply to] Can't Post

Amazing how much bigger Mongolia is than California (3.69 times; I guess much less). I'll probably spend the next hour making similar comparisons.

Liechtenstein still has a way of defeating Russia [In reply to] Can't Post

It's so small, Russia may never find it, and you can't invade what you can't find.
