also good for deterring the monsters under the bed

Fridges don't need any more rest, they're always chilling.

You guys are getting bread?

Actually, the British are just one of the most recent of hundreds of civilisations who took things from other cultures. Everyone just hates on the British because they're still around.

Seriously?!?

"Can I apply my own anaesthetic?" "Sure, knock yourself out!"

Awwww. Friends forever!

Bringing up the revolution again?

And the Australians couldn't even beat the emus.

I recently saw someone doing this on the lake where I live. He was on a paddleboard holding what looked like bat wings. It was a windy day, so he was getting some good air I guess. :)

He does look like he came straight from that era, though!

Tea drinking came to England in 1650, but because it was expensive, didn't become the most popular drink in England until the early 19th century. It took oolong time.

She didn't know at the time... and when she started to know, it was way too late.

this one is less funny because Marie Curie was one of the main scientists responsible for us knowing "we should be careful with this radiation stuff". It didn't stop us from using fluoroscopes in doctors' offices and shoe stores long after her death, but it was a big clue.

rip Marie curie!

Only mother and daughter to both win a Nobel. Both in Chemistry, 1911 and 1935.

I recommend you to read "The radium girls". Everyone knew by then and these poor girls died horribly.

Um, Marie Curie was a scientist.

Unless you were the CEO of any Radium company and you are an evil evil disgusting business man that doesn't give two sihts about your workers even after the scientists have told you time and time again how dangerous it is.

Franz Ferdinand feels this...

Well, I know I'm not getting shot in Norway.

For those who don't know: after WW1, Germany started to design new tanks, which they weren't allowed to because of the Versailles treaty. To disguise that, they stated that they were building tractors ( don't ask me why that worked)

How very humble

The Germans had a similar experience too...

In terms of total air power, the US Navy is second in power to the US Air Force. 3rd is Russia, with the US Army and the US Marine Corp rounding out the top 5.

So cruel! Ironically it was apparently Canada that passed laws to ban liquor first, then USA followed while Canada repealed decision. Canadian bootleggers got rich after that. 😁

Hey hey hey, he tried but we fought back! - Finland -

Cross dresser?

Ah yes, I knew a girl in college who admired Stalin. Told her that if he were in power, she'd very likely be designated an enemy of the state due to being in college.

Belgium: "I had one colony but I did some of the worst things out of all of you."

Boomers had to deal with all of the sh*t that happened afterwards so cut them some f*c*i*g slack modern hate culture!

Istanbul not Constantinople, yeah it's Istanbul not Byzantium

Are you applying for a position that involves two lanterns, a horse and a loud voice?

Hawaii was unified in 1795 but it was independent for 800 years or so before that. By culture, language and customs, Hawaii was a country long before European maps designated it as such. If we applied the same metrics to Hawaii as contemporary European "countries" , Hawaii was a country a lot longer than. 103 years.

Can someone help me wiyth this one?

Wyoming and Utah always look like two rectangles that overlapped and Wyoming won the overlapping corner

You forgot South Africa. The 50 000 white women and children that died under terrible conditions in concentration camps. And the 100 000's more African natives that also died in similar camps that no record was kept off, except for the skeletons in the mass Graves....

I read harry Truman as Harriet tubman 4 some reason?

This happens frequently to very flat countries with no natural geographical borders.
