I'm actually more alarmed to learn that "spunk" means "jizz" somewhere.

There's a gay joke in there somewhere.

I learned that, in Brit and Australia, people who smoke are called fags.

Ha! Guess I'm not the only one who thought that one up.

I can't figure out if you're being sincere or not.

Actually, does fag refer to any cigarette or to butt-ends only? Any chance at all of avoiding the obvious puns? It's a legitimate query.

Oh wow, apparently I was wrong about it and it turns out the cigarette itself is called a fag.

Doesn't the dictionary term "faggot" as "a bundle of sticks"?

It better, because it's all I remember about this book.

I know it itsn't too relevant, but I just found out this:

Wikipedia's entry on [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shit#Usage]Shit[/url] wrote:Interestingly, in slang, prefixing the article the to shit gives it a completely opposite definition, meaning "The Best", as in "Altered Beast is the shit," or "Oregon Trail is the dope shit."

I call encyclopedic bias.

What if it is "a pile of the shit?"

In Brazil, the OK sign with the hand is actually telling someone to fuck themselves in the ass.

That needs to be edited so Commies are replaced with "Terrorists".

That map needs to be edited that so japan is the almighty hub of greatness, and Mexico is originator of the greatest food on earth, then it would be sort of close to accurate.

It could also throw Poland somewhere around Canada and mention that it's an uninhabited wonderland of nothing but mountains and endless streams of spring water.

This map is better. It's a fact.

Chicago looks like a suitable place for the capital of an evil empire.

If you'll excuse me, I have a bus ticket to buy. If I can't afford Chicago, I will instead arrive in Seattle.

But they have to hire all their mad scientists from Saint Paul.

I see nothing wrong with that map. It resembles a lot the one from my school book.

I see they don't recognize Canada as a country.
