I'll approve

 

They included the beginning of Angola's independence struggle as the date for Portugal and Morocco's invasion of Western Sahara for Spain so I guess the Falklands fit here.

 

Yeah, and the countries that used to be Yugoslavia were definitely invaded by their neighbors in the early '90s, not during WWII.

 

ASF should be here shortly....singing!

PS...apologies to Tom Jones

 

Argies 2-2 in WC finals since the end of the Falklands kerfuffle. And England...

 

None for you!!




You remember Shari Lewis' Lamb Chop?

 

Int'l football just won't be the same if/when England ever wins something in our lifespan. The fact that they are consistently among the favorites (zero learning curve there) and fall flat every time is just such a precious side story to every WC and Euros.

 

Gonna happen next year! Democracy ends on July 5th and a couple of weeks later Eberechi Eze gets the game winner over the Argies and the team celebrates around their German coach.

 

Dutch treat!

 

Funny about the phrase "Dutch Treat," because the Dutch make fun of the Vlaams for (allegedly) being cheap. There's the joke about how copper wire was created, 2 belgians were fighting over a 50 centime piece (which was worth about a penny)

 

Yeah, and if you tell a girl you want Greek and she understands…well, that girl is a professional.

 

The usual red counties...

 

I have questions. Italians shit 8 times per day on average? So some people shit more than that? North Macedonians only shit once a week - are they a nation of sloths? Also interesting is the big difference between Ireland and Northern Ireland.

EDIT: The comments explained that this is actual how many cups of coffee are consumed in a week, so it's a lot more believable. But still, Italy is at 8 per day? JFC.

 

I'm pretty sure there's a flaw in this data.

 

Think how many trees the US could save if everyone switched to bidets.
