Oh, I was aware of it, although I'll freely acknowledge that most Americans probably wouldn't be. But what puzzled me a little was the implication that only Americans would be unaware of it.

Re: sigh (none / 0)

I think Migeru meant the same. I too only know it since I read ET.

Re: sigh (4.00 / 2)

Just for the record, what I tried to do was introduce a obscure fact in a comic way.

The comedy in question would be to assume that everyone in Europe would know this, when due to the obscurity of the fact that would obviously not be the case.

Probably wrong thread to do it though. The apologise worked better.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!

Re: sigh (none / 1)

Somehow it seems ironic that I actually knew this before I came to ET.

I'm not typical of most Americans though. This sort of thing interests me.

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg
