#6 Um…that’s fewer holidays than we have. England: 1 in January, 2 for Easter, 2 in May, 1 in August, 2 in December (8 total)
US federal holidays: 2 in January, 1 in February, 1 in May, 1 in July, 1 in September, 1 in October, 2 in November, 1 in December (10 total) Northern Ireland also has 10, but that’s still not more than us. Plus ours are spread out a bit more nicely. And I just learned that there aren’t any federal holidays relating to Easter, despite the fact that nothing’s open then. So that’s interesting.

Does the rest of England have public transportation, though? Because most of the US does not. Where I grew up, forget subways, there weren’t even buses or taxis. If you wanted to go somewhere, you drove.

Of course there is. There are quite a few of them, but they’re still British. You wouldn’t say there’s no such thing as an American accent, would you? Because there’s a huge difference between a New England accent, a Southern accent, and a Midwestern accent, but they’re still all very much American accents.

You guys don’t have a single break from August until Christmas? Wow. That sucks.

“What kind of weather allows Matt Dillon to wear a turtleneck sweater and a leather jacket when it doesn’t actually look cold at all?” This is actually something that’s always bugged me about TV (I realize this is about ads, but I’m talking about TV, just go with it). Most TV shows take place in California, or maybe Florida or some other relatively warm place, and it’s usually bright and sunny, but people go around wearing sweaters. Why? How?

You can’t tell me the last cake doesn’t look delicious.

Simplified explanation: A country has a finite amount of worth. A dollar (or whatever unit of money the country uses) equals the country’s worth divided by the number of dollars printed. If you print more dollars, the country’s worth stays the same, but the value of each dollar goes down.

Nina Dobrev? I wouldn’t have thought of that, but I can see it, especially in that last picture.

Yes, but it says which one is the first to be seen praying. Snow White came out in 1937. Mulan didn’t come out until 1998. Snow White was obviously first.

When the show was on, sweatshirts like that were a pretty normal thing to wear.
