I learned about the Spanish Armada in high school, and they didn't mention this at all.

There were several from WWII, also. With the large number of aircraft involved in the war, it was no surprise to have at least a few.

Maybe that inspired the bloodhound gang to do the track "Diarrhea runs in the family"

Tend to experience it when I have high fevers, shits not fun at all.

I remember my dentist had an arcade machine with this game on it. It was free to play, but it was very old and the display would not show the floors or ladders, just the sprites moving around the black screen.

Racism and slavery are ugly and hateful. Commenting that the fight for Texas' independence was a fight to preserve slavery, three decades before the Civil War, is asinine.

Millard is a name you don’t hear enough anymore.

Popeye was originally a minor character in Thimble Theater starring Olive Oyl and her boyfriend Harold Hagravy

How do you know it's a million dollar idea before getting the patent?

It's a reference to a delightful episode of King of the Hill. Then again, most episodes with Cotton make me laugh out loud.

Not the most memorable, that’s for sure.

Millard Fillmore was the store brand cola of presidents

He was off the field 15-20 minutes after the incident. They didn’t even talk about cancelling the game until after he was gone. They canceled almost an hour and a half after he collapsed and the teams had gone back into the locker room to discuss it. Fans watched the ambulance come on the field in disbelief. Not really the same at all, the NFL hadn’t had anything like this happen and didn’t know what to do and frankly didn’t want to cancel such a highly touted prime time matchup.

That’s why we have chosen a wide bodied DC-10.

Doesn't change the climate. Am guessing it's the same for Millwaukee, St Paul, Chicago and Detroit. Even New York. How do you guys get through your harsh winters? Just asking for a friend in the UK whose heating bills are going through the roof since we turned off Russia.

This victory preserved slavery for another several decades so not really

Hats off to whoever got that name approved.

sounds exactly similar to what I felt as a child too !

We hate Ted Cruz too, the state is just too gerrymandered for anything else to really happen.

I used to get this as a child when I would often receive beatings and severe abuse

I remember holding my little sister when I was 12. She was sleeping but I could feel her vibrating. Fond memories.

Santa Anna’s aggressive…enforcement of the abolition of slavery in Mexico.

To be more specific, it was about preserving slavery which had been a de facto practice since euro-american settlers were induced to the area in the early 1820s. Technically it was already illegal, but many of the settlers simply wrote up “contracts” for all the slaves that they were bringing from the states (and importing from Cuba and Africa for several decades after importing slaves was banned in the US) of 99 years, so that legally they were free (but indentured) workers. In practice it was literally just slavery with extra steps.

Though for pretty different reasons!

> If I ever come up with a million-dollar idea, the first person I'll tell it to is a patent lawyer.

This is good advice for a startup, but terrible advice for inventors. What you should do is to learn how to write and file a provisional patent in the USA, to get one year of patent pending status. And then try to licence out the technology to a company, who will often pay for the complete utility patent for you, or with an advance.
