Argentines for the world!
 

We had the best car racer: J.M. Fangio.
We have the best football player (Soccer): Lio Messi.
We had the best football player (Soccer): D. A Maradona.
We have a queen in Holland: Máxima.
now, we have an Argentine Pope.

Next steep: the forum, ja ja ja...

Congratulations and good luck Jorge Mario Bergoglio!, although I'm atheist.

You forgot tango, lithium, and some rare earth metals. Congratulations on your new pope, let's see what he does.

Taking over the forums though? Ehhhhhhhh.... Maybe not (leave that up to the Canadians). :D

Thank you!

I forgot to write the best cardiologist: René Favaloro (RIP).

What about the beef and empanadas? Mantecol is not bad either! :D

Ah, did you stay at Argentina?.

I was born there in '71, near Buenos Aires. Moved to the US in '76.
Parents are Italian. Still have family and friends there.

:cop: Politically inflammatory comment deleted. Next politically inspired comment to this discussion earns its poster bin time. (Violation of forum policy)

The new pope also is a masters-level chemist. Woo-hoo!!!!

Ok, mine are Argentine, but older ones was Italian (by the arm of my father, I also have Italian citizen), but from mother a rare mix of Germany, Italy and Catalan. Thank for your comments.

Thanks Kevinkr!
