meara, it appears the quiz takes your curling-impaired status very seriously.
Katie, I have a couple (okay, two) friends in Edmonton who are truly cool people, which made it my favorite province up until the Buffistas, anyway.
Anybody can be a prop class clown.

They sure do! The last women's team that went to the Olympics was from BC. Everyone curls!

Haha! Sue, we need to trade (and you need to curl!)
You're Nova Scotia. People have spread rumours about you and you have suffered from stereotyping. Few people take the time out to get to know the real you. You hate labels. You are patriotic and loyal.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Not to be difficult, but isn't Turkey technically Europe? If not, what is it - Africa or Asia?
Just to expand a little on what others have said, Turkey is mostly Asian, and indeed the entire continent of Asia is named from the Roman province by the same name located in Western Turkey; which itself derived its name from one single town (Assos, IIRC) on the Turkish coast. (And the Turkish peninsula is still known as Asia Minor.) However, Istanbul and the rest of Turkish lands across the Bosporus are in Europe; so it's one of only three countries to straddle two continents. (The others, of course, are Russia, as mentioned already, and Egypt.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have an accent question. The lead chick in "Tipping The Velvet" -- is her accent consistent? She sounds awful to me, and not like the other people in her family.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
She sounds awful to me too, ita. Really, really awful. In fact, she sounds like nothing so much as Dame Diana Rigg's daughter with a headcold pretending to be common and vainly striving for butchness.
....ah.
(But she's still pretty.)
