My accent must be fucked up; an Australian -- a queenslander -- couldn't pick it. I have been told that I should like i'm from somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere where they speak English but no more specific than that. And also, the internet tells me:

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The Northeast
 

Judging by how you talk you are probably from north Jersey, New York City, Connecticut or Rhode Island. Chances are, if you are from New York City (and not those other places) people would probably be able to tell if they actually heard you speak.

I had a long post mostly talking about zombies and st patrick's day (rainy) but it was eaten by the internets. I'll resurrect some of it, possibly, maybe, have to go play on flickr first.

The questions just don't suit the Australian accent. I answered every one "sounds different".



Queenslanders don't know anything except killing cane toads and social conservatism.

Speaking of which, check out Conservapedia (http://www.conservapedia.com/Main_Page). Some Christian fundies determined that "Wikipedia is six times more liberal than the American public", so they set up an alternative that "give(s) full credit to Christianity and America".

A friend of mine swears he found a page related to evolution that featured a picture of Jesus riding a brontosaurus.
