GEOGRAPHY FACTS
Alaska
More than half of the coastline of the entire United States is in Alaska.
Amazon
The Amazon rainforest produces more than 20% the world's oxygen supply.
The Amazon River pushes so much water into the Atlantic Ocean that, more than one hundred miles at sea off the mouth of the River, one can dip fresh water out of the ocean. The volume of water in the Amazon River is greater than the next eight largest rivers in the world combined and three times the flow of all rivers in the United States. Antarctica Antarctica is the only land on our planet that is not owned by any country. 90% of the world's ice covers Antarctica. This ice also represents 70% of all the fresh water in the world. As strange as it sounds, however, Antarctica is essentially a |  |
desert. The average yearly total precipitation is about two inches. Although it's covered with ice (all but 0.4% of it, ice), Antarctica is the driest place on the planet, with an absolute humidity lower than the Gobi desert.
Brazil
Brazil got its name from the nut, not the other way around.
Canada
Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world combined. Canada is an Indian word meaning "Big Village".
Chicago
Next to Warsaw, Chicago has the largest Polish population in the world.
Detroit
Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, carries the designation M-1, so named because it was the first paved road anywhere.
Damascus,
Syria
Damascus, Syria, was flourishing a couple of thousand years before Rome was founded in 753 BC, making it the oldest continuously inhabited city in existence.
Istanbul,
Turkey
Istanbul, Turkey, is the only city in the world located on two continents.
Los
Angeles
Los
Angeles' full name is El Pueblo de
Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles de Porciuncula - and can be
abbreviated
to 3.63% of its size: L.A.
 | New
York City The term "The Big Apple" was coined by touring jazz musicians of the 1930's who used the slang expression "apple" for any town or city. Therefore, to play New York City is to play the big time - The Big Apple. There are more Irish in New York City than in Dublin, Ireland; more Italians in New York City than in Rome, Italy; and more Jews in New York City than in Tel Aviv, Israel.
|
Pitcairn
Island
The smallest island with country status is Pitcairn in Polynesia, at just 1.75 sq. miles/4,53 km².
Rome
The first city to reach a population of 1 million people was Rome, Italy in 133 B.C. There is a city called Rome on every continent.
Siberia
Siberia contains more than 25% of the world's forests.
SMOM
The actual smallest sovereign entity in the world is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM). It is located in the city of Rome, Italy, has an area of two tennis courts, and as of 2001 has a population of 80, 20 less people than the Vatican. It is a sovereign entity under international law, just as the Vatican is.
Sahara
Desert
In the Sahara Desert, there is a town named Tidikelt, Algeria, which did not receive a drop of rain for ten years. Technically though, the driest place on Earth is in the valleys of the Antarctic near Ross Island. There has been no rainfall there for two million years.
Spain
Spain literally means "the land of rabbits".
St.
Paul, Minnesota
St. Paul, Minnesota, was
originally called
Pig's Eye after a man named Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant who set up the
first business there.
Roads
Chances that a road is unpaved
in the U.S.A:
1%, in Canada: 75%
Russia
The deepest hole ever drilled
by man is the
Kola Superdeep Borehole, in Russia . It reached a depth of 12.261
meters. It
was drilled for scientific research and gave up some unexpected
discoveries,
one of which was a huge deposit of hydrogen - so massive that the mud
coming
from the hole was boiling with it.
United
States
The Eisenhower interstate
system requires
that one-mile in every five must be straight. These straight sections
are
usable as airstrips in times of war or other emergencies.
Waterfalls
The water of Angel Falls (the World's highest) in Venezuela drops 3,212 feet (979 meters). They are 15 times higher than Niagara Falls.
● D4 It's only rock and roll
Del: Zašto gubiš vreme sa gomilom
bezveznjaka?
Rodni: Nisu oni gomila bezveznjaka! Još
nisi čuo kako sviramo.
Del: Ne moram. Znam ko vam je pevač.
Mentalni Miki!
Rodni: Miki Megvajeru ništa ne fali.
Del: Samo mu nedostaje sluha!
Rodni: Ne potpuno.
● ● ●
Rodni: Seti se gužve za prošli Božić oko
onih palica za kriket. "Svaku
je lično potpisao Viv Ričards."
Del: I jeste svaku ličnu potpisao Viv
Ričards... Dobro, nije to bio
onaj čuveni Viv Ričards.
Rodni: Ne... To je bila najstarija sestra Dejva Ričardsa. Samo su mi ih vraćali.
● ● ●
Del: Ako ponovo udariš u krov kombija,
neće biti "Frankie goes to
Hollywood", nego "Rodney goes to hospital"! ● ● ● Del (o bendu): Vrlo sam iznenađen. Mislio sam da
ću čuti
gomilu blesana koji zvuče kao mačka koju operišu bez anestezije. Ali
vi ste dobri! Mentalni Miki: Šta...? Del: Dosta ste dobri. Niste baš na
nivou "Spandau Balleta" ili "Durham
Durhama", ali nešto mi se dopada u vašoj muzici... Pa, tu ima nešto...
(za
sebe) Samo se nadam da nije zarazno. ● ● ● Del: Još niste uvežbani. Pogledajte se samo. Izgledate kao klošari izašli iz kontejnera i koji su se opet vratili u njega. ● ● ● |  |
Policajac: Ukradene su dve gitare dva
zvučnika i
komplet bubnjeva. Pa, evo jedne palice. Malo je zamašćena.
Rodni: Hvala. Mislite da ćete ih
uhvatiti?
Policajac: Ne bi trebalo da bude teško. Obići
ćemo
sve klubove dok ne nađemo grupu sa jednorukim bubnjarem.
● ● ●
Rodni
lupa par
puta palicom za bubnjeve.
Del: Još uvek radi, zar ne?
● ● ●
Del: Hajde, Roders. Nisi valjda mislio
da ćeš negde otići, zar ne? Samo
pogledaj tu ostalu trojicu. Zajedno imaju 5 i po moždanih ćelija, a
jedna
od njih je skoro crkla!
● ● ●
Rodni: Šta god da je u pitanju, mama je
nešto o tome rekla na samrti. Mora da je
poslednje sate provela pričajući k'o luda!
Del: Hodaš na oštrici noža, Rodni!
Rodni: Čekaj! Prošle nedelje smo se svađali ko će otići po pomfrit i ribu. A ti si tvrdio da je mama rekla na samrti, "Pošalji Rodnija po ribu".

Vi mora da ste iz Škotske ako… (UK/SCO poglavlje
CIII)
 | 5643.
You love going to the "shows" and especially going on the waltzers.
Remember the waltzer boy shouting through the tannoy "Get on the
outside,
the best side is the left side" and "Screeeam if you wanna go
faster!!!" 5644. The BBC force you to watch England's football matches. You want to strangle Mark Lawrenson and Gary Lineker. You also bet on when they'll mention "1966" and you scrutinise Hansen to see if he says "we" referring to England. 5645. If you have lived in Edinburgh or Glasgow, then you truly hate the other city to the West/East. Scotsman v Herald, Capital v Industrial Giant, mild & wet v cold blue skies, Old Firm v Edinburgh Derby. 5646. Your holiday abroad is ruined if you hear there is a "heatwave" in Scotland while you're away. Even worse if the intended hot weather abroad doesn't materialise! 5647. Even if the meal you have just eaten in a restaurant was totally minging you just can't bring yourself to complain or make a scene. You feel you have made your point by not leaving a tip. |
5648. The tip you leave depends on how much you've had to drink, no
calculator
required like the Americans.
5649. You've shared happy memories of being wee and drinking creamola
foam!
5650. You might say "dinner" instead of "lunch" and say
"tea" instead of "dinner".
5651. You might make a piece for your lunch. "Will ye be coming for
lunch,
Willie?" / "nah, ah"ve got ma piece".
5652. You don't get beaten up, you get battered! Also you dont ""kick
someones head in", you "give them a wee hidin!"
5653. You do say "Och aye" but never accompanied by "the
noo" which every American assumes is part of our everyday language.
5654. You know one of the worst crimes you can commit as a Scot is to
lose your
accent willingly or put on a fake English/American accent. Examples:
Gordon
Brown (he says "brakefast" now!)
Lulu, Sheena Easton (heckled in Glasgow until she cried!) Ronni Ancona
etc.
5655. You are in a restaurant generally you receive service from
waitresses/waiters
with a smile, smiling when they greet you, smiling when they take your
order,
smiling when you pay. This does not happen in most European countries,
especially Spain! |  |
5660. You get all confused and tongue tied at the supermarket checkout when the cashier says "How are you today?". Do they really want to know how you're feeling or are they just saying that because they have to?
5661.
You got the belt (before it was banned) at school not the cane.
5662.You call trick or treating "guising" and you actually had to
tell a joke, a poem or sing a song to earn a treat - ahh those were the
days!
5663. You know it's almost impossible to find a sandwich in Scotland
with no mayonnaise in it!
