3)

Met a Brazilian while traveling in Indonesia. We tried in vain to find something stronger than beer to celebrate the New Year.

ah, but 3) was Israeli.

Ah, you got a free one there. How insidious! ( glosses over the fact that my sleepy little eyes misread)

Met an Israeli on the ferry from Iloilo province to Negros island here in the Philippines.

I killed this thread! Wish I could kill the one where you win something...

And now Stalgie has stolen my victory by killing the thread all over again!

No! This thread can only be killed by me!

Not gonna happen, pal.

You could actually make a guess to keep the thread going

#8 ?

I met an Italian from one of our foreign offices.

Thanks for playing

9) Australia

Yay welcome back Xben!

I traveled with a couple of Australians in Indonesia.

I come back from time to time...

I'll guess 2) Sweden, then.

Nope, met a Swede at a student conference.

OK, how about 12) New Zealand? (trying to guess in the zone between "seems unlikely to be right" and "seems like an obvious choice")

And you are correct! Never met a New Zealander, that I can recall.

I met a Pakistani running a restaurant in the Philippines,
the condo we stayed in in Dubai had a Nigerian lifeguard,
and I traveled with three Dutch to Borobudur and Prambanan temples in Indonesia.

You're up Xben!

OK, I'm going to ask a complicated one, but I'll make sure it does not drag out too long. A few years ago, I came up with a list of my 50 favorite DC Comics characters (as you do, you know). Not all of these would still be on this list, probably, but we'll go with it as it was.

Name my 50 favorite DC characters (at the time).

Hints:
36 male. 14 female.
# of Legionnaires - 13 (4 of whom were dead by the end of the Baxter era)
# I discovered through the Suicide Squad - 4
# I really discovered through the "Golden Age" miniseries - 2
# debuted 1990-present (according to Wikipedia) - 4
# who normally/traditionally have no code name - 7
# of pre-crisis Teen Titans - 3
# of traditional villains - 6 (3 of whom have had their own eponymous series or mini-series)
# of Green Lanterns - 3
# who couldn't pass for a normal human, even if clothed normally - 3
# who are really the same character, but apparently not for legal reasons - 2

# debuted 1990-present (according to Wikipedia) - 1

# of traditional villains – at least 4 (it’s actually hard to count villains, as so many characters have spent significant time as both hero and villain. But there are four that I think most would agree are properly villains. Although maybe 1 of these is now more of an anti-hero, and this one had their own eponymous miniseries.)

# of characters who were related to other DC heroes known primarily for their super-speed - 2
