Here is an update/non-update of the state/country counts. Nothing has changed for awhile. I attempted to get someone to post in from the space station, but my astronaut connection left there before I could get that done. There is still hope, however. Following is the last update from page 340 of this thread (this includes everything from the beginning of the thread). If you have posted in to this thread and don't see your country listed, please pm me and I will make the correction.

I suppose it's about time to update the state/country list from 12/8/2010 (post #1921, pg. 97). Page 340 is easier to get to than page 97 when I'm trying to look for the post again. I've copied it below with the update for Malasia I just made. If anyone feels I missed their state/country on the list, just send me a PM so I can correct it. There is sooo much content on here and some people post with no locations (or imbed their country as anulv just did). We have all the continents covered. If you have a way to get us the Space Station, that would be a great addition!

Thanks for joining, William. We had an official Scotland (country #2) early on, but he actually lives there. You made the extra effort to move LOL. You have now been officially initiated because you actually took the time to read the entire thread before posting ( I have ways of knowing this - kind of like The Great Karnak). Can you believe some people actually admitted to skipping ahead in the thread just to post in? I don't think that will help them very much on the test! Omphaloskeptic calls it our "Fortress of Solitude". (Is that like Max Smart's "Cone of Silence"?) (we watched too much TV in our youth, I think, but TV shows were actually worthwhile back then) I say you've been sucked into the vortex. All in all, it's our little slice of heaven. Tom is of Scottish heritage (McMillan on his mother's side).
Oops!! I violated my self-imposed "no more posting rule". I must not be busy enough. No more hints either. (I think that there have been more than 24,000 "hits" since last Wednesday, putting us closer to 1/2 million every day. I'm working my fingers to the bone getting that test ready!)

Here's the real reason for posting:
Here's an update of the state/country list (from page 86). If I missed anyone, sorry. Just let me know. I don't want to leave anyone out of the fun!
** indicate states that are represented so far. If you've posted, but haven't identified your location, you can PM me if you want and I'll ** the state or add the country of origin. So far 35 states have posted. (4/29/10 - we now have 37 thanks to Todd and Tom in Nebraska and West Virginia)(also welcome Jay for #38)(I can't remember who was #39, but #40 on 7/3/10 is wats56 from WY)(and #41 on 9/27/10 from NH). Only 7 more states to go!
As of 11/16/10, we now have 44 states (as of 12/14/10)(I know those other 6 states are lurking!)(45 included as of 3/14/11) (46 states as of 5/4/11 with DE coming on board) 47 states accounted for 5/5/11 (Welcome Guam! 5/8/11)(48 states as of 7/21/11 with the addition of HI!) 50 states as of 1/17/13

It's for pick up only, seller won't ship it so someone in that part of the country is going to get a very nice jack at what appears to be a great price.
