Crazy facts about the USA: 14,589 active civilian helicopters registered.

If the average helicopter was a small 2 seat Robinson R22 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (8.74m in length) that would be 127km of helicopters.

Hey, everybody gets it when they are here, it is just that only a few are honest and secure enough to admit it openly.

What's funny is that our Department Secretary [Oleksandra] is Russian, she's in her early 60s now. She came to the united states in the early 1970s as an exchange student from the USSR, she and her husband at the time (also another Russian) never returned to the USSR. Amazing eh?

Too many stories like that to tell.
Samples:
There was this guy from Northern India I worked with who had this grand plan: work for 6 years in the US and go back and live like a king. He would have maids and a big house and be the rich man in his village. He ended up getting married and staying. Haha..oh well being king isn't everything.

I work with a young Ukrainian (a big Putin hater BTW) who has been here 6 years and isn't going back. He says its nice walking down a street at night and not worrying about being robbed. Yeesh! He likes living comfortably and having financial security so he isn't blowing his money on a BMW even though he is extremely tempted.

Two very religious Pakistani's who had some strong opinions about corruption and how that applies to the true definition of being a Muslim. Can't believe the irony of being forced to live in a land of Infidels. They call that the saddest thing ever.
