Default OT - Mis-information

a.. America is so big that like, England would fit into a million times!
b.. America is next to Ireland
c.. America is part of the United States
d.. The biggest state is called Washington because the President lives
there
e.. Americans are the biggest people in the world! Some of them are 15
feet tall!
f.. In American you must carry a gun or you will get arrested
g.. Americans love rugby, but they call it football. It must be all the
crack they eat.
h.. The opposite of America is called Russia, but that doesn't exist any
more because they all moved to Afghanistan or somewhere
i.. The President of America is called Bill Clinton
j.. American's don't like Osama bin Laden 'cos like, he dissed their
mothers, or something
k.. They also don't like Saddam Hussein, because like, he said he had some
weapons or something, and then they killed him, and he didn't have any
weapons, so like, they got really embarrassed and now they need to find
another country with some oil in it or they will run out of money. Or
something.
l.. Every year they have a party with crack and cakes to show how good
they are, I think it is on September the 11th or something.

    >a.. America is so big that like, England would fit into a million times!

I calculate England would fit into the USA 73 times.

    > b.. America is next to Ireland

you would think so by the number of US tourists in Ireland
compared to Brits.

    > c.. America is part of the United States

along with the governments of south/central american countries
who have to conform to what America wants or they send in the
exploding cigars :-)

    > d.. The biggest state is called Washington because the President lives
    >there
    > e.. Americans are the biggest people in the world! Some of them are 15
    >feet tall!

I thought it was 15 feet wide? :-)

    > f.. In American you must carry a gun or you will get arrested

No, no, no. If you dont carry a gun democracy will collapse just
before you get murdered/raped and you become a slave.

    > g.. Americans love rugby, but they call it football. It must be all the
    >crack they eat.

I have a theory that American football is a version of gaelic
football? Anybody know?

    > k.. They also don't like Saddam Hussein, because like, he said he had some
    >weapons or something,

I think Tony Blair was the only one who believed that.

    >and then they killed him, and he didn't have any
    >weapons, so like, they got really embarrassed and now they need to find
    >another country with some oil in it or they will run out of money. Or
    >something.

I thought it was that they thought the Iraqis carried out 9/11?

I was hoping N.America ratio to British isles would be the same
for a sort of symmetry, but its 60 times bigger
