Oops...I guess I screwed up that game, huh?

[Wahoo]

I got the inspiration for this game from two things. First, I was nonplussed to learn, from a co-worker, that Colin Powell is from Jamaica. Second, one source gives Jimi Hendrix was born in Jamaica but another source says he was born in Seattle, which left me puzzled about Jimi's birthplace.

Oh yeah, the inspiration for the subject title came from one of my favorite Internet sites: Hot or Not?

Colin Powell is a family member as my Aunt informed me 2 years ago. I had no idea.

He is well respected in the states and would get my vote for president.

I thought Colin Powell parents are Jamaican.
....going to look this up.

[Rose21]

He was born in New York City to Jamaican immigrant parent

I feel the same way. Haven't agreed with his stance on every issue, but he'd get my vote for president, too. Hope to see his name on the ticket in the next election.

Put him on the Republican ticket and both Republicans and Democrats will vote for him.

I'm still waiting for Arnold to run.
