The harbour in Vanuatu is split into 5 parts, named Port I through to Port V. I laughed when I found this out.
 
You guys are all in cahoots. I'll never get this as long as I live (unless someone tells me). I honestly don't see any significant similarities between "correct" sentences. I declare randomness on this puzzle.
 
Portugese children are poorly educated about films. Ask them who 007 is, and they normally reply "who the hell is Bond?"
 
Argh. Even reading the correct sentences doesn't help! :(

OK, stab in the dark:
"While playing in the desert in Australia, a kangaroo found its mother."
 
Baseball players have been lying for ages. While he claimed to be fighting in the war, the great Mel Ott awaited trial in Canada for the murder of seven prostitutes.

No credit to me, though: I was assisted. Funny thing though; I have seen this exact puzzle before but that particular thought NEVER occured to me while I was looking at this :lol:.
 
I wasn't kicking myself when I got this, because I don't think it's easy to spot and I was looking for the total wrong things. I stumbled on it by chance, really. But it is quite fun to make creative puzzles. :)
 
(For a little U.S. flavor ;)):

If you're ever in Maryland, and you need your shoes shined, keep this in mind--Anna polishes shoes the best.

I agree, it's not easy just to "spot".
 
Nope - though I'm curious as to the thought process that brought you to these answers.

I had a hunch that the pattern had something to do with GTP usernames, because I saw a few prominent ones in other examples. I think if you read those two again you'll see the two members I included. ;)
 
"I was in the United Kingdom last year to watch the British World Superbikes Grand Prix while enjoying a melon. Donington is a really neat racecourse."

"I once knew a young man named Louis Jones who made a nonstop flight all the way to Germany carrying a large load of lumber. Lindbergh's flight was like a small commute in comparison."

"A young American pilot was training to become a pilot for the United States Air Force. He was with an instructor doing some practical training, and he was about to experience a high-speed turn for the first time. 'Ready?' asked the instructor. 'As ready as I'll ever be,' responded the young cadet. The instructor banked the F-14 Tomcat, and the cadet suddenly found himself awash in G, tons of pressure pressing down on his body. He nearly blacked out, but managed to stay awake. 'Are you alright?' the instructor asked. Thrilled, the cadet replied, 'Hell yeah! That was awesome!' It was from this moment on that the young man knew he had made the right decision."

I must say, it's neither satisfying nor aggravating after you figure it out. Kylehnat's Maryland example was what helped me.
 
Japanese crab is usually not fresh; it's processed and pressed into sticks, says Yoji.
 
The Welsh tourism board is quite helpful. When you arrive in the country, they'll offer you a neat little map printed on a business card. I'd recommend taking this card if finding your destination is important to you.

That's kind of how I feel about most brainteasers. Most of the time, I get no satisfaction from them, even if I solve a hard one quickly. Sometimes if you don't have the same thought-pattern as the puzzle-creator, it'll be nigh on impossible to figure out. Unfortunately with this one, if you have to ask, you're wrong.
 
Stop! Here comes the man... Righteous and cross grained. Moving like a fish in the water. Face to face with the masses. System made him, with us, nameless souls. Here comes the man... Mighty hand grabs and squeezes... perception changes. Until you're not able to breathe... strings on hands. Dance now! Dance in the rhythm, move like you're hypnotized. New generation now moves on. Machina cattiva! Il sistema la fa viva! Help us save the world with your taste for good, the green glitter... No disorder. Hypnotizing power allows you to survive. The fist gets stronger as you fail to see! Now move with the system! You'll take a lie from them, but not from me... it won't taste much better, but it will come free! Machina cattiva! Il sistema la fa viva! Dance in the rhythm.

If it's wrong,who cares.
 
Was that Vanilla Ice?

Well done ultrabeat, Wolfe and kylenhat for getting it (assisted or nay).


My english is very very bad, I'm still able to solve the puzzle?

Yes - it has almost nothing to do with language, so you won't have problems like some other people have had, picking out adverbs and pronouns. It's a great deal simpler than that.

What country are you from (or are you English/American/Australian/Canadian and just rubbish at English)?
 
At the Turkish Grand Prix, drivers were concerned that Turn 8 posed a threat to their car's legality plank (a rather flimsy piece of wood), because the aero loading through that corner caused the car to bottom out constantly.

More American fun:

A band formed in northern Michigan. Unfortunately, all of them had terrible voices, so they came up with a plan: singing would be replaced with constant guitar soloing.
 
Ooooh. Well, that was aggravatingly simple. I figured it out from Kylenhat's example...

In Norway, some cargo's longness is frowned upon.

When one goes to France, one sees that traffic lights stop aristocrats as well.
 
Never play poker in Estonia. Holding four-of-a-kind, I went all-in, not realizing that the dealer had been cheating all night. He pulled out a straight-flush and took my money :grumpy:.
 
This proves my good sense: I know better than to try solve some weird puzzle simply because the quizz master proclaims it's surprisingly simple. I looked for a few, couldn't figure it out, found nothing in common. Sure, it shows I'm intellectually weak, but it also proves I'm not insane.
 
Come on, guys, if I can solve it, anyone can.

Now, if we were in Lativa, the owner of an oil rig as well as clowns would find this very difficult.
 
I think I've found a link... the statements form a true sentence?

So, Estonian poker dealers cheat and Norwegians don't like long cargo.
 
I think I've been driven to the brink of true lunacy. I can't sleep at night, I'm depressed, and I had to miss school today because I couldn't even function by morning. I feel like a total failure, man. This sucks.

Hey, don't worry about it too much. I know for a fact that Florida residents can figure this out. My Floridian friend, Brian Cantalla, has seen the link between these sentences.
.......
Lawyers in Tunisia rejoiced--for they had found a loophole!

NO GUESSES, only sentences you think fit the pattern.

Besides, how true do you think any of this unending stream of horse:censored: is?

Is this an attempt or not? If it is, it's not correct.
