CNN (IIRC) recently used a graphic to show an out-of-control bushfire in Australia - they had the entire continent ablaze. But at least on this occasion they had Australia in it's rightful position, between the Indian and Pacific oceans, rather than as a state of 'Murica.

Hey I'm at Angkor Wat now, cool I'm in Thailand and no one checked my passport. Still confusing why they let Khmer in free and Thais must pay... screwy.

So did the Mongels if I'm not mistaken. Or was it just that the old Khmer and the... Forget the name pretty much bash them, until the others attacked the Khmer.

I seem to remember they were named after the Khmer word for shovel.
