Gibraltar:
Did you know?
Gibraltar is made out of limestone, which is basically billions of tons of crushed and petrified ancient sea creatures and crustaceans solidified through immense pressure far under the surface of the earth, then somehow catapulted to the surface.
The "Neanderthal" man was found in Gibraltar a significant amount of time before (1848) it was "Discovered" (1856) but recent speculation has led to believe even earlier remains were uncovered in 1829 in Belgium.
There are over 80 miles of tunnels within Gibraltars 5km2, many of them off limit to civilians to this day (I've wandered in there, there not guarded or anything)
For thousands of years it has been considered a place of prime importance to sea-faring nations - ruins of altars have been discovered with remains dating back to Carthaginians/Persians/Romans/Greeks etc.
Through many years before any permanent construction was built it was a safe haven for Pirates - especially Maltese Pirates, the descendants of which still live semi-isolated on the eastern side of the rock.
phew, enough for now.

America is known for being one of the fattest countries in the world, if not THE fattest country in the world. However, this is an unfair assumption, as most of our nation's fat people live in Wisconsin.
Well if the daily mail are to be believed;
"Dont go outside, ITs full of blacks, Queers & muslims! Ooohhh if only diana were here."
Kudos to those that get the reference.
In all seriousness, in the UK everyone does drink tea, but doesnt wear tweed or sits in big stately houses.

A not so positive piece of Dutch history: right after World War II (in which the Netherlands where occupied by the Germans, which costed the live of many Dutch Jews and other innocent people) my country invaded their former colony Indonesia (which wanted to be independent after being occupied by the Japanese) and commited many war crimes there (including massacring entire villages). They finally stopped in 1949, after a lot of American pressure. The Dutch government has yet to apologize for these events and there has never been any financial support for the families of the victims.
Nobody really says "Your Welcome" in America.After saying Thank you, It's usually "Uh-huh" or "No problem" or no answer at all.
