Welcome to the blog, Albanians!

Welcome to the blog, Albanians! Many readers may remember Albania for a bizarre espionage incident in 1990. An exchange student named Adil Hoxha was sent to Springfield to obtain plans for the local nuclear power plant.

A plant employee from the host family unwittingly took Hoxha on a tour of the power plant and thought nothing of the many photographs Hoxha took of sensitive material. Hoxha was eventually caught by the FBI and was exchanged for an American spy caught in Albania.

One of the greatest stories ever featuring Albania is the story of Albi the Racist Dragon, as told by Flight of the Conchords.

It's a must-see.

All right, fine, I give in. I will watch Flight of the Conchords. If I become obsessed with it, though, it's on you.

Okay, I watched it -- and it's darn funny!
