I think Hitler evened the playing field 😛. But agreed, a lot of good minds/people have come from there. Can't say that about wisconsin, all we got was a guy who made "Earth Day". Although they do have an excellent winter olympics team...Or at least they did a couple years ago.

Huh, didn't know that. Interesting. And I didn't mean to play the Hitler card, just making a comment. Sorry.
Now, the final blow: (If I remember correctly from my history lessons) The Austrians actually started world war one. It was prone to happen due to the political state, but if I remember correctly, the austrians somehow blackmailed the germans, causing the to attack... another country.
Jeez, I can never remember history... 😕
But I stand to be corrected... I dead tired, I'll be off to bed 😉

It's much more fun learning stuff when you can decide what to learn instead of sitting in school all day long 😉
Originally posted by angie88Lol, yeah, good point. I find it fun too cause I get to rack my brain with all the odd facts and random trivia I've built up. The stuff I can remember anyway 🙂.

Never smoke in bed
It's quite an involved funny/sad story. Remind me to tell it one day...
