Blackberry User/American Citizen: *drooling in beer*
Android User/British Citizen: “Hey, check out all the titles Queen Elizabeth has.”
BU/AC: “Hmm?”
AC/BU/Former Australian Resident: “I’m still on the Brit track—she’s the head of the Commonwealth, and every country refers to her a little differently. That’s interesting, some of them list her as ‘defender of the faith…’ Whoa, both Australia and New Zealand do, too. I didn’t know that.”
BU/AC: (mumbling) “Well I guess that makes sense. If they were under British rule they all would have been Anglican in some way or something something something…”
AU/BC: “Huh?”

- The White Heron (New Zealand, in Maori)
- Chief Hunter of the Order of the Buffalo Hunt (Alberta, CA)

Especially that last one. Or maybe “Member First Class of the Most Esteemed Royal Family Order” in Brunei. Friends with money…
And for the record, Making the Google Homepage was not listed. But probably should be… right?
