As many are aware, the French government recently announced a rise in its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide". The normal level is "General Arrogance", and the only two higher levels in France are "Surrender" and "Collaborate". The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
You'll have to go to Jumbo Joke to read about the terror levels for other countries. Be sure to read the last paragraph, which provides a comprehensive look at Britain's view of dangers to their country.
Update: Immediately after posting this, I stumble across McGehee's post on Subway sandwich shops equating France and chicken. The two posts just seem to go together...kinda like France and chicken.
