    Ha ha, first i thought "Damn! i know some friends of mine in Uruguay that would love this one" but right after..."Wait...monkeys in Montevideo??"

    Maybe there where some in the 17th century? Or they were just passing by to Brazil.

    I dont know if you are being sarcastic. But yeah its central america o america central, and then theres north america, with the 2 nations. I've never understood why they refer United States as america, i've never understood that.

    Probably as a shortening of United States of America.

    Also, I think Central America usually doesn't include Mexico.

    My Spanish isn't great, but you did sound kind of confrontational. Maybe a smiley face or something would've helped?

    Because I'm ignorant North European, I don't speak Spanish so it would be nice if everyone would speak English in this thread. Although I have impression that it wouldn't be wise to translate everything which has been said.

    But that said, I think that they picked Montevideo because it's Latin American name and it rhymes with Monkey. Thirteen Monkeys of Montevideo does sound much better than Thirteen Monkeys of Caracas or Thirteen Monkeys of Lima.

    Yep, Mexico is part of North America and Central America starts from Guatemala and Belize. Although techincally anything north of Isthmus of Panama can be counted as part of the North American continent.

    (There's differences, between the countries, how geographical regions are defined, so my answer follows only the North European model and I don't know how it is defined in other countries.)

    Middle America includes Mexico, Central America does not. Or so Wikipedia says.

    Hi, I am also from Montevideo and I just registered. Those were valuable seconds, but I just had to say something!

    What is this all about? The agressiveness (?) y just read is nonsense.

    I am a big fan of the series (I also ignore the 4th, as everybody does) just like every nerd with sense of humor. When I first heard Le Chuck naming our city, my brains blew up. It was just too much. I find it fucking hilarious and my friends and I keep making jokes about it, we keep laughing our asses out. It just doesn't matter what you know about us. I mean, you COULD know a little more about the world, but to be honest I really don't give a shit about most of the countries either, (who does? maybe we should but we don't) so... the uruguayans who got angry are just idiots. Perdon gente, es cierto. When was MI supposed to be realistic? Also, I never even considered someone could get mad about this until now.

    NO GENEREMOS NADA MALO DEL HECHO DE QUE LE CHUCK NOS NOMBRE, ES GENIAL!!!! por ninguna razon deberiamos, así que dejen de hacerse los cosos.

    Besides... we're part of one of the best epic stories ever told! We sure are now more legendary than before, so all I gotta say to every montevidean (?) who got angry, and also to everyone who think's we're all like these people...

    YOU FIGHT LIKE A COW!
