Thanks for the info, you guys! Like a lot of Americans, what I know about Eurovision is from seeing Python skewer it in various ways. I even know what song won in 1957 ("Sing, little Birdie") which I believe Chairman Mao knows in that quiz show sketch.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Eurovision gave the world Abba, Bucks Fizz and some other ::cough:: venerable talent that charted in some countries.

Not to be difficult, but isn't Turkey technically Europe? If not, what is it - Africa or Asia?
And a hearty bwahahaha! to Scrappy for beating me to that particular Python item.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
You get to give, er, I think it's 1 point, 2 points, 4 points, 6 points, 8 points, 10 points and 12 points. I think. Or something like that. Basically you've got a bunch of points that you can deal out to deserving countries in various sizes of chunks, depending on how good they were.

I believe that half of Turkey is in Europe, and half is in the Middle East. But I failed Geography, so I may be talking out of my arse here.

Okay, so it's not some 11-is-a-bad-number thing then.
