I'd put them even with eachother, actually... kind of.
Lincoln kept us together, Roosevelt went on an expansionist run.

Correctly saying, this shouldn't be posted here. There should be a miscellaneous topic...

Saw this. I was in college at that time. A girl in my class had got those special eclipse glasses. We all went to the terrace and saw it. It was seen so clearly. It was like this when I saw. The background was lighter obviously (it was afternoon).

Very nice.

Poor Haiti. What's really bad is that the government is mostly gone (from what I've heard) as a few of their administration buildings collapsed with people inside. Current death toll is what, 200,000 at max? :(

They are saying between 100,000 to 500,000. That is close to 1-5% of the total population of Haiti.

Canadian military commander charged in two murders

Oh dear. Apparently they're also investigating his possible involvement in several other murders.

Hopefully there'll be enough of an outcry over this it'll bring him down. It's the most blatant step yet in a series of worryingly undemocratic moves. Apparently just owning half of the country's media wasn't enough for him.

The five best airports in the world are now in Asia.
Wonder what would be the case after 200 years. Asia is slowly usurping the position of the West- it would consolidate it in a few decades, I think. And then Africa would take over Asia's position, I suppose.

Mwahaha.

We need to revive the quote thread so that all of these quotes shall be remembered when people get bored of their sigs!

Seriously, there's so many good ones.

Actually, I've changed my mind. America is officially the 3nd overrated country. Sri Lanka steals 2nd and, obviously, Djibouti is 1st. I mean, who doesn't hate a country whose name has buttockal references?

Edit: Botswana captures 2nd. Sri Lanka is pushed back to 3rd.
