Very nice and detailed list, but Eva Peron never was Vice President of the nation. She was the first lady and aspired to be Vice President one day but died before that never happened (i live in Argentina).

I was in Beijing and Shenzhen, China, in 2004 and have to say that spitting in the street and even on planes is way out of control there. Foul dirty habit.

“patrol the streets and hand out free spitting bags to those who could not control themselves” – haha! walk,walk,walk *spit*, OOPS! “okay okay, not again” walk,walk, *spit* OOPS! “damn i don’t want a baggie!!”

Idi Amin – wow. Now THAT’S called “bling”.

“His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshall Al Hadji Doctor, Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, CBE, MC” – the endinf to that is like a recitation of the alphabet!

There is a small noteworthy doubt about the Kazaks and Borat. Acctually the prototype for Borat was a moldovian which is somewhat more logical both taking the looks of Sacha Baron Cohen in consideration (etnical Kazaks look rather Asian) and also the fact that Borat plays so much on antisemitism for his act.
I was told this theory by a girl from Kazakstan, which she claimed a lot of Kazaks do belive in. Apparently Kazakstan has some 10% of worlds resources in oil in addition a lot of other natural resources. It is landlocked between Russia and China and forced to sell its oil for a very low revenue still it is a very expanding economy due to the oil and gas. But was still widely unknown in the world before Borat. Tourism and investments go hand in hand. According to her the president of Kazakstan payed Cohen to turn his character into a Kazaki in order for him to promote Kazakstan to the outside world. You might remember that Nazarbayev made a huge campaign in US and UK after the release of the Borat-movie trying to promote a correct view of his country. There was also a video which can be found on youtube were he gives a speech about this.
If this theory is true (I doubt it because of its conspiratorial aire) it is quite a remarkable pr-stunt and might shed a different light on the movie “Mongol”.

I think the 2500th year celebration of the Persian Empire at Perspolis should have got a mention.
