I'm leaning toward silliness for this, of course. (idle minds are the devil's playground :O:)
In America, the streets are paved with gold.
This is simply not true. Our streets are actually paved with a mixture of pyrite and rave glitter, and then spray painted a translucent purple color.
Feel free to add myths about your country, be they of your own imagination or actual myths. :DL

Because the money in the vault is insured. ;)
Funny story, I have a friend who works in a smelting plant (they melt precious metals), they stamp all the gold/silver/etc bars they make so no-one could sell them without the paper work (unless they know someone on the black market who owns a smelting plant).
Well the armored truck who was to take a shipment to NYC flipped over in Ohio and the company never called the plant to tell them it wasn't going to show up.
One of the guards offered to drive it (about 12 grand) to NYC in his truck pointing out if its stolen it can't be sold and no one would expect his truck to have 12 grand in the back! The idea was shot down of course by the boss and the plant now contracts with a different armored truck company.

The Myth Of How Arkansas Got Its Name
It is commonly believed that the state of Arkansas was named out of jealousy. According to legend, the original settlers of Arkansas had been prevented from settling in Kansas because they weren't 'Kansasy' enough. Crestfallen, the wayward group moved on and soon found an empty spot to the southeast. They claimed the land for themselves and called it Arkansas (southern-speak for "Our Kansas"). This is, however, entirely untrue.
The founding fathers of the state actually named it in honor of one Arkan Williamson, the man who first discovered the land. He sent his assistant back to the group to tell them of the discovery, who ran to them excitedly shouting, "Arkan saw unclaimed land! Arkan saw unclaimed land!". :03:
I made that one up maiself. :smug:

That my country is a champion of democracy.
:hmmm: :shifty: :nope: :har:
The truth is it's much flawed in practice so it should have been called the champion of flawed democracy or the champion of corrupt democracy. It's getting worse the past 5 years or so. As expected.
If I'm lucky I might see East Timor progressing beyond my beloved 65 years old country.
It would only need a small amount of external induced conflict perhaps due to a struggle to secure water supply due to global warming to bring this nation to collapse WHEN it runs out of its natural resources in less than 50 years. And since it's already pathetically so weak militarily(the only faction that the army can win war with is the civilians), a future conflict with its neighbor is becoming more and more likely. Central Kalimantan looks tempting to Malaysia and North Sumatra could be the new place for the Singapore regime because their city is literally drowning and it will only gets worse with time.

Did you attend school in Kansas, too? That state is always coming up with excuses for why it shouldn't just be considered a flat, boring state in the middle of many truly great states (except for Oklahoma, which is even worse, as evidenced by the fact that we sent all the Indians there. IIRC, the motto is "Ad aspera per aspera", which means: "We are hopeless optimists".:DL

Anyway, the fact that herring is usually served with raw onion here is sometimes attributed to be originally to conceal the rotten taste of old herring that had been fermenting for a year:)
With current technologies the herring stays reasonably good, but you still can clearly taste the difference between new herring and the herring that's been caught a year ago.

I thought this thread was supposed to be about myths regarding our own countries, not about things we've heard about other countries. Have I been missing an opportunity to make fun of other countries all this time!?
I think I'll start with Kyrgyzstan because it's so easy; the people are called Kyrgyz, and it just goes downhill from there. Kyrgyzstan, in addition to being just another "-stan"(Soviets Took All Niceties), is a nation where the main import is bullying and its main export is forcefully extracted lunch money. Ironically, the ephonymn Kyrgyz comes from some Turkish word that means "unconquerable". It was a this point that the nation's history became more sad than funny.
All but impossible to find, or pronounce, or care about, as well as having a name that is just too silly to be taken seriosuly, but not quite spellable enough to be used as a joke, Kyrgyzstan is the world's least influential nation-state.

I think most young women look great no matter where they are from! I think they know they look great too! It's just when they hit 40+ they really start to look not-so-great anymore. Then they complain that men start to look better at age 40+ to them. I'm thinking that's because most 40+ men are financially secure. But who knows, maybe the salt and pepper hair is a turn on for them like big jugs are to me? :hmmm:

In some regions of the world, America is thought of as the Great Satan. This is woefully inaccurate, as no nation on Earth could hold so much power. Please refer to the below diagram for the proper hierarchy.

They look like jail bait to me! But they are good looking girls! Wish I was young again! :damn:
Girl next to me is 19, and the girl to the far right is 18 :P

Here in the Netherlands, I know only one girl who occasionally wears her hair like that:hmmm:

Admit it: you are Spider-man in your free time, aren't you?
Seriously, you're like a cuter Tobey Maguire.

And is this your girl or wife?Hmm? who?
That friend of mine that sometimes wears her hair like that? Nope, why do you think she is?
I don't know anything about the girl in the pic as the picture was originally posted by Biggles.
If your question was to find out whether she's already taken he'll be the one to ask :lol:
BTW, I'm a little young for a wife, I'm only 19 you know;)

The one next to him certainly seems to think so. It looks like she likes you, Biggles. :sunny:

Haha, okay, I better clear up some things here:
1. I am not Spiderman. Or any other superhero...but people say I have a similarity with Maguire since I got my new glasses:D
2. Girl to the far right is indeed "occupied". Never been interested in her though.
3. I am not married to anyone nor have I a gf. Just 19...
4. Yes Steve, she sure looks like she likes me on this photo. One of my favorite photos actually, because I rather like her!:D:haha::haha: But I seriously would think that this is just a "isn't what it looks like" moment. :hmmm::har:
Hah, Biggles went from Harry Potter to Spiderman. What's next? :DL

Posting on-topic!? :o You don't belong here... :stare: ;)
Some people would say that it does have a divide.
I would say that whatever divide is there is a lot less severe than it was 20 years ago.

Yep Canberra is another story. You don't need to get drunk to see 'roos on the streets down there. I remember driving near Red Hill once when about a dozen 'roos bounded out of the nature strip and across a 4 lane divided road. Had to stop and wait for them to cross before I could drive on.
