Spaghetti Bolognese has nothing to do with Italy.

Yes it does, hence the name bolognese (as in the area Bologna in Italy).

EDIT: My useless funfact: because of how fish in the ocean have evolved and some species have moved on to land, some species of fish are genetically closer related to creatures that live on land than to other species of fish.

Yeah but you don't serve Bolognese sauce (which is not tomato based) with spaghetti in Bologna.

She didn't put them on her eyelids, sorry, she put some on her forehead, eyelids puffed up so sorry for the confusion.

Still, my points stands, toothpaste burns.

You sure this isn't an allergy, or a case of some cheap toothpaste? Toothpaste is also great for spots. That was a tip from sister, no doubt discovered as a money saving tip while she was doing her backpacking year in Australia. Worked for me as well, often left toothpaste on any spots I had overnight with no ill effects.

Oh, and as a random fact, dolphins are the only species other than humans that have sex for pleasure.

As for the toothpaste: I have lived in Spain for 5 years, always use this trick with mosquito bites. Never had a problem leaving it over night..

Also with the Dolphin/sex fact... i have also heard this fact to be true... but,
I have also heard that a certain species of monkey is the only other animal apart from Humans to perform Oral sex on their partners.. so why the hell would they do that if it wasn't for pleasure?

O.T. Duck-Billed Platypus is the only mammal that lay eggs if I remember correctly.

You don't, the echidna does it too. They're called monotremes, there are 2 and they're both Australian.

OT: The M21 is Modern Warfare 2 is actually an incorrectly labelled M14, it even says so right on the gun.

Well played my good sir, I stand corrected.

Yeah but you don't serve Bolognese sauce (which is not tomato based) with spaghetti in Bologna.

That is because what you call bolognese sauce has nothing to do with bolognese sauce. Real bolognese sauce has very little tomato in it.

Pineapples contain a flesh-eating enzyme, which is why your gums can bleed if you eat too much of it AND why it tenderized ham while it's cooking.

Also, someone once baptized their child in the Stanley Cup.

And it's not served with spaghetti but with lasagne or tagliatelli. Therefore, Spaghetti (alla) Bolognese has nothing to do with Italy.

Both bolognese sauce, lasagna and tagliatelle comes from Italy so I'd say it has everything to do with Italy. We're nitpicking here but what you should have said is "The dish we call Spaghetti bolognese is not what was originally served in bologna, although the sauce is correct is was never served with spaghetti". Saying it has nothing to do with Italy is simply not true.
