I was just typing up a report on an ethical case I'm working on and I spelled it out and it came out incorrect. What's the deal? So the C is silent or what? That's really fucked. I feel like I don't know America or correct spelling at all right now.

Haven't you heard a Red Stripe Beer commercial on the radio?

Everytime I hear it pronouned it comes out like "kah-neh-ti-kut" not "kah-nek-ti-cut"

speaking of connecticut:
did you know that the use of condoms is forbidden there? :think:

or even worse:
you couldget a life for havin butt sex in idaho!!!

or you could get three years for premarital intercourse in arizona

also funny: if a wife cheats on her husband in minnesota, she can get a year and a $3,000 pen. a man could do the same thing without any chastisement.

in delaware it's forbidden to bath topless after your 6th birthday (if you're female).

BUT THE COOLEST THING: in estonia it's not allowed to play chess during the sexual intercourse! lol, how rad is that...

This is true. If you're an American and don't know this, you're pretty much a complete moron.
