I did wonder about that - I'm missing the joke too.

(many people still use Burma rather than Myanmar because they don't think the military junta has any legitimacy)

The Kingdom of Pagan was the first kingdom to unify the regions that would later constitute modern-day Burma (Myanmar).

I didn't know that either.

Ah, I expected some clever irony rather than a real fact.

I'm Egyptian apparently! Never thought they were very tall there and I'm 6' so typical!!!
I wasn't sure whether to put UK or Canada as my country as wasn't sure why they were asking the question at the time. The comparison to other women made me laugh as there was about 2 percentage points difference between the 2 countries despite there being a few more "large" ladies over here than in the UK!!
