Also when WW1 ended, wasn't it?
11th hour, 11th day, 11th month, 1911…
Didn’t google it, so be nice if I am wrong…
I knew Americans hadn’t a clue when either WWI or WWII started, but I thought everyone knew when they ended :)

I am being nice. Just playful. :)
At least you guys were actually in those wars. We weren’t around for the first and were neutral on the side of the good guys in the second.
BTW – why three degrees? To be sure to be sure to be sure?

Californians aren't real Americans of course

I guess that would explain why the Quiznos people...

What else can I say? I'm really happy. --Vincenzo Nibali
WWI started when the archduke was shot, right? Turkish assassin or something...
WWII pretty much began on the 11th day, 11th hour, 11th month (Treaty of Versailles). WWI reparations killed Germany which ultimately led to Nazis, which led to WWII, which led to Americans bailing out Europe (AGAIN), which led to surrender of Germany, and on and on and on.
And I did that without google. But, I’m a dumbass American. BTW, I did say “be nice if I am wrong” and I caught my own stupid mistake too. 1918 is right, isn’t it? I had a long night – really cold bike ride after a LONG day at work – so took this personal (you can ignore me).

It was something to do with a Turkey and an artichoke, I thought.
Or was it when when a bloke called Archie Duke shot an ostrich ’cause he was hungry?

Ah, Ben Elton, the spiritual chieftain of British comedy.

Wow, I bet there are a lot of damned kids on Quentin Betts lawn
I’m not even going to mention that he writes a long piece on british comedy and doesn’t even mention Eddie Izzard…..
It had more to do with Austria's outrageous requests for Serbia
which they knew they would not accept with the goal of starting war. But yes that is the ceremonial starting point, it was a Serbian assassin btw.

With a Belgian gun. Thank you, highschool history professor
for that completely useless factoid which I somehow can’t seem to forget.
When you’re bragging about supplying the gun that shot Franz Fredinand you really know you’re taking the national pride thing a step too far. Teachers, eh?

Don't think he was bragging
He was just weird. He once asked me if the ring I was wearing was a present from my boyfriend. The next question was “… it’s prince William, isn’t it?” (and he was dead serious too). Great teacher though.
Trust me tgsgirl, if that gun had been Irish, the teacher telling us about it would have been bragging :)

JJY – you might want to Google when Versailles was actually signed.

I think I was pretty clear when I said, "is it right?" about 4 times.
You could be cool and just say, “hey it was signed on blah blah blah”, but instead you chose to reinforce the earlier “clueless” comment with the old “just go look it up little boy” response. Next time I have a random thought about something that isn’t fully researched, footnoted, and grammatically perfect, I’ll just keep it locked up in my clueless head.

Will we all have to do that? Will there be a test JJ?
Random thoughts are fun!

Hey, I took the "american hadn't a clue" bit too seriously too.
I need to lighten up – Been a shit week for me on the home and work front. No harm done and now back to the café. XOXO

I have a theory.
Anything you can look up in five seconds from your phone isn’t worth remembering.
Knowing what the wars were fought over is way more important.

That being said, you should know the ballpark for these kinds of dates

That way lies madness
I will only go so far with palindromes ;-)
"Your not going won't unbreak her arm."
Here in Dublin, the old football and rugby stadium in Lansdowne Rd got redeveloped and sold the naming rights to one of the insurance companies, Aviva. Some think they should errect a sign outside the gates saying “Weclome to the Palindrome.”
