And I thought the fact that Harry Potter has a longer WP entry than Prince Harry was ridiculous.

Well in Harry Potter's defense he is a much more important person as far as many are concerned.

As far as anyone sane is concerned.

Harry Potter is big business, employment for thousands.. Prince Harry is small time entertainment.

Why do Americans think all Europeans are unarmed?

Gun ownership per 100 residents:

USA: 90
Switzerland: 45.7
Finland: 45.3
France: 31.2
Austria: 30.4
Germany: 30.3
Greece: 22.5
Belgium: 17.2 ...
England: 6.2

Gun ownership is lower in Europe, but not as low as some people think.
