In Flip Flops? Really?

Personally, I throw on Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix. Listening to that song makes you feel like you're ready to take on the world.

I'd give Team USA a solid 9/10 for their performance against Paraguay. We looked pretty dominant out there.

In Philadelphia, whenever the fans of an away team put their jersey on the Rocky statue before playing the Eagles, they always end up losing.

​

Unfortunately, Ecuador supporters had to learn this the hard way in their last match against Cote d'Ivoire.

I'm not sure if the curriculum has changed since I was in school, but it was quite common for us to be taught that before Columbus arrived in the Americas, most of Europe believed that the Earth was flat, and the primary reason why he struggled to get his voyages approved was that people were fearful that he was going to sail off the edge of the Earth is he sailed too far out West.

​

Of course, this is completely false. It had been widely accepted fact that Earth is a sphere since the times of Ancient Greece.

Do you think you would get along with your new neighbors? Would you like the changes in your country's climate?

The picture here was taken from the Battle of Midway from WWII. This battle is widely regarded as the turning point of the war in the Pacific due to the significant, unrecoverable losses that the Japenese Navy took. Most notably, all 4 of the fleet carriers Japan brought into the battle were sunk by the Americans, while Japan only managed to sink 1 out of the 3 American carriers. Following this loss, the Japanese military was forced to go on the defensive for the remainder of the war.

America's example is a pretty notorious one. 11 states in the South seceded from the Union, forming the Confederate States of America over the issue of slavery, and this ultimately leads to the American Civil War.

Pictured here is Charlie Chaplin 🇬🇧, the man widely regarded as Hollywood's first true megastar. He was incredibly successful and influential as both an actor and director, and American cinema would not be what it is today without his contributions.

Pictured here is Jimi Hendrix, who I consider to be the greatest guitarist of all time.

Pictured here is Ulysses S. Grant aka "Unconditional Surrender" Grant, general of the Union Army during the American Civil War and America's 18th President.

This man whooped some serious Confederate ass.
