"The border that, er
Well, I guess it turns out that we don't share a border after all."
Chrétien then officially withdrew his country's demand that India hand over a 20-mile-wide stretch of land that was to have served as a demilitarized buffer zone between the two nations.

Peter Takso Jensen, the Danish Ambassador to the US, has said that "when Danish military go there, they leave a bottle of schnapps. And when [Canadian] military forces come there, they leave a bottle of Canadian Club and a sign saying, 'Welcome to Canada.'"

I watched a couple of Michelle Bachmann videos this week and havent fully recovered. Let me explain
We all know Jesus set up shop in the Vatican in Italy a long time ago. So we know he loves Italy.
Also everyone knows that the US is Jesus's favorite country but the technology of the time didnt allow a country to be set up. He couldnt really carry enough people over and god outlawed arks after that incident.

My head hurts. Im going to lie down until I feel better.
