The King of All Cosmos describes certain countries I haven't quite found the time to visit: 

ISRAEL: "Apparently there used to be a guy here who could split the sea in half."

IRAQ: "Apparently they tried building a really tall tower here a long time ago."

AFGHANISTAN: "Everyone here wears long beards that suit them well, but it must be tough when they're drinking milk." EQUITORIAL GUINEA: "It's called that because it's right on the equator. If it were under the highway, it'd be Interstate Guinea." 

UGANDA: "There's a bird on the flag, but its inhabitants are human. It's not a country of birds or anything." 

ETHIOPIA: "A nation famous for coffee and marathon runners. Maybe the coffee makes you run really fast." 

MOZAMBIQUE: "The flag of this country has a gun, a hoe and a book. It must have gone through hard times." 

SAUDI ARABIA: "The country with the largest reserves of a liquid that everyone wants." 

THE PHILLIPINES: "A country comprised of over 7,000 islands. It must be hard to find names for them all." 

PAKISTAN: "There's a city here called Harappa. But there aren't any rapping dogs." 

VIETNAM: "People walk hand-in-hand together in Vietnam...even the men."

NORTH KOREA: "A shy nation not into interacting with other countries."

LEBANON: "The capital is Beirut, but they don't grow roots there."

I tried to play the that EyeToy game where you're on a hoverboard, and the character on-screen copies your body movements.

It was on the store's demo PS2, which was hooked up to a little 15-inch TV, so I thought the biggest challenge would be reading the screen while keeping my body far enough from the TV to be picked up by the camera. But my little telescope made short work of that task, at least during the menus. The real problem was that the tutorial gave a lot of spoken instructions, and I couldn't hear them over the music playing in the store.

Anyone have an EyeToy?
