Much, MUCH more intelligent answer than mine ^^

:laugh:

[Lee.]

Actually, the head bangin question I suppose depends on how hard you bang it?

All came to be individual nations following the Treaty of Versailles?

No idea if that's a fact or not, but it's not related to what I posed thought (if that makes sense!).

erm... erm...

Geez. I can't even think of something random to guess! :blush:
