Further to the Celt debate, I came across an article on the BBC news website today about a Celt grave in Germany, part of it is below:

"Celtic art and Celtic culture have their origins in south-western Germany, eastern France and Switzerland and spread from there to other parts of Europe," said Dr Krausse.

They were then squeezed by the tribes from the north and the Romans from the south, so that today they remain only on the western edges of the continent."

If you can't tell someone from Texas apart from someone from Minnesota you must not have ears.

If you watch the first four or so minutes of this video, Applejack has a Southern Accent, the cows have a Minnesotta accent, and Rarity has a Bostonian accent. Most of the other ponies have generic American accents.

If the Scottsman was wearing his standard issue kilt, the Irishman wearing his standard issue green tights, and the Englishman was ranting about the price of tea, I could definitely pick their origin!

Edit: (Did I get the stereotypes right?)

The English man would be moaning about football and how its the refs fault or the managers fault but never the players. Also you can Irishmen? I can't understand them at all.
