Get ready for some random South American factoids:
1) Nickname: "El Pollo Loco"
2) AKA: The poor man's North America...literally.
3) AKA: It's America, but South.
4) Places to See: Brazil, home to the world's greatest "CoD: Black Ops DS" player ever.
5) Places to See: Brazil-Peru border, a region of remote tribes so primitive, they lack even the basic tools needed to shoot down a small plane photographing them.
6) Places to See: Lake Titicaca, the "Uranus" of lakes.
7) Places to See: Nazca Lines, massive geoglyphs made 2000 years ago by painstakingly moving millions of pebbles. Only visible from the air, so even if you're 6'7", you still might not see it.
Places to See: The Wreckage of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571. Just bring plenty of snacks. Unless...
9) Places to See: Rio de Janeiro, because how better to enjoy a greater way to spend your time in Carnival than under the watchful eye of a 130-foot Jesus?
10) Landforms: Rivers, flowing bodies of water which are vital to our planet. They also support enough freshwater life and providing the underpinning for the $50 billion-a-year steamboat poker industry.
11) Most Common Habitat: Amazon Rainforest, where we get 25% of our medicines, 30% of our air, and 50% of our benefit concerts. It is also a great tourist attraction to see exotic animals that have not been seen anywhere else on Earth.
12) What to Eat: See above.
13) Surprising Factoid #1: Though rich in biodiversity, rainforest nations were usually poor in money.
14) Surprising Factoid #2: The Amazon supplied not only much of the world's paper, but 98% of its Kindles.
15) Countries: South America consists of 13 countries. 12 are Spanish speaking, and the other covered its butt cheeks with a tiny piece of string.
