#1 I thought the whole point of the EU was to present one face, a solidarity to the rest of the infidel (that's us guys) world.

Flounder - "this is gonna be great!!!" hehehe

#4 Why don't they all spell it "yoorow"? Then nobody has an advantage.

Sheesh, the things those people across the Pond will quibble over....

#5 How about "You Row" in honor of Europe's division of defense responsibilities with the United States?

#6 "So piss off, or we're adopting the zloty!"

Now that's funny.

I actually have an old 10,000 zloty note - it was worth about 50 cents...

#7 How about calling it the "Ruh-Roh" and making Scooby Doo the EU mascot?

#9 If I were King of the EU, I'd make everyone speak Esperanto. Or Pig Latin.

#11 I disagree, Shipman. The Europeans spell beautifully, but generally our Mucky makes more sense.
