6. The Germans torpedoed it at Pearl Harbour.

Killed Davy Crockett, too. Inspired Teddy Roosevelt to quit his job in the Navy Department and lead a cavalry regiment to Cuba, because it was nearby and we had to fight SOMEONE. Those dastardly Canadians took advantage of his absence to burn down the White House. Goes to show that they can't be trusted; no surprise, since some of them are practically French.

12. "practically French"

...is an oxymoron.




When my daughter was an exchange student in Japan, I advised her to always go around reminding the locals that we saved their asses from the Ratzis in dubya-dubya-two and they oughta be grateful for our tourist dollars.

Like an ingrate, she never took my advice.

11. Re: the Fenians

Have you read Daryl Brock's _If I Never Get Back_? Contemporary journalist travels back to 1869 and the Cincinnati Red Stockings...

And what are you doing up at this hour? Can't sleep, like me?
