No, this is something only America and China have.

BTW, I mean the US, not the Americas, if there's any confusion.

 

[honestrosewater]

China may lose theirs soon.

Alligators?

 

[zoobyshoe]

Alligators?

I'm very curious as to why you are guessing answers to your own question.

Me too, me too!

What's going on, hrw?!

 

[JamesU]

their ego?

 

[wolram]

impatience, no one answered for AGES n AGES.

 

[honestrosewater]

Yeah, I had to leave- I wrote another post explaining that, but I guess it didn't stick. It was alligators. The Chinese Alligator is facing extinction. Anyway, someone else can go- if there's anyone still around.

Holland has one of these, so does Greenland.

The USA doesn't have any, neither does the UK, or Canada.

Honest government?

 

[brewnog]

Ha, no.

 

[brewnog]

The Seychelles and Philippines also have this thing, I believe.

France, Germany, Spain, and indeed most other European countries don't have it.

Russia does, but China and India don't.

 

[wolram]

A giant joint?

 

[brewnog]

Heheheh. No.

 

[honestrosewater]

Is it a living thing?

 

[brewnog]

Is it a living thing?

No.

Having done a bit of research, I can tell you that the only places in Africa which seem to have it are Cameroon, Morocco, the Seychelles, Sierra Leone, and Guinea-Bissaau, (which has two of them!).

dike? ...

dike? ...

I beg your pardon!

 

[Evo]

I beg your pardon!

is that a no?

 

[brewnog]

is that a no?

Yes!

 

[honestrosewater]

I think I've ruled out anything concerning languages or government...
Maybe some kind of geographical feature? The US has about everything I can think of... Something about transportation?? Just thinking aloud...
Also nothing to do with flags...

Bear in mind that I'm lazy, and relatively ignorant. I really wouldn't look that hard for this one.

grits...

 

[brewnog]

grits...

I'm not even going to dignify that with a response.

 

[Evo]

you just did

 

[brewnog]

you just did

Nothing gets past you, does it?


Anyway. It looks like this one needs a superior mind to crack. Where's zoob and uncle Danger?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Is this a type of mine?

 

[brewnog]

Is this a type of mine?

No.

To be honest, I thought someone would get this within the first few goes. I feel kind of guilty for wasting peoples' time with such a stupid puzzle!

I'll give you another 10 mins or so before revealing, and then you can all cuss me and someone can post a proper one.

 

[Evo]

I'm sharp as a tack.

How about another clue?

 

[brewnog]

Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Missouri all have one of these.

Mississippi has a shedload of them.

Arkansas, Ohio, Oregon, California and New Jersey all have none.

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Crud! I know this is something obvious but its not hitting me.

Mmm, I'll be, urrrrm, doubled up in laughter if you don't get it soon...

 

[Ivan Seeking]

double consonant

 

[brewnog]

double consonant

Close enough, double letter.

Sorry it was crap, I didn't think it would last this long.
