Hey Everyone! So, I found 10 facts about The United States which were amusing to me so i thought i should share it. This is my little effort towards making forums great again. I'll be doing this on other countries too. 1. We sell enough pizza each day to cover 100 acres. 2. Three of the world's five oldest rivers flow here. (Now cry me a river) 3. The deadliest job in America is .... president! 4. Roughly one in three of us have our fingerprints on file with the FBI. (Now how do I get away with a murder?) 5. 7% of Americans claim they never bathe. 6. Every second, Americans collectively eat 100 pounds of chocolate. 7. Apple has more operating cash than the U.S. Government. (Seems legit) 8. We have an official Rock Paper Scissors League. 9. The banana is the most popular fruit in the U.S. (wink wink) 10. Though most Americans speak English, we have no official national language. THE END. Challenge reposted by: WombRaider Special thanks to: I_Wont_Bow_Down_To_No_Man (for doing nothing?)
Nice, here's two more that I find interesting: The Republican and Democratic Party symbols emerged less from political tact and more in jest and retribution. The Democratic Party’s donkey symbol was adopted in 1828, when, during an election, Andrew Jackson’s opponents called him an Ass. The Republican Party’s elephant symbol was adopted in 1874 after satirical cartoonist Thomas Nast drew an elephant, labeling it “the Republican vote.” On September 25, 1820, Salem, NJ held a trial against…tomatoes. The general populace believed that tomatoes were poisonous, so Robert Johnson stepped in to prove them wrong. To do so, he bravely stood before a crowd at the courthouse and consumed a whole basket of the delectable fruit. Not dying after consumption, the trial was promptly dismissed.
But can we not turn a fun, light hearted thread into political debate? 10/10 these facts. Love the pictures that go along as well.
