      - it's as accurate as wikipedia. -- nm - mafic Jan 18, 21:38 1

    - I had no idea. -- nm - The Allfather Jan 18, 20:57 1

- It's a little odd that "third world" started out as "countries not involved in NATO or Warsaw Pact" but has come to mean - TWuG Jan 18, 20:51 1
  - Because it was in the US's propaganda interests to do so - Reagen Jan 19, 01:50
When I am implored to not act like a boomer, I must ask, what does a boomer do? -- nm - crash davis Jan 18, 20:45 2

Of the original 14 NFL teams. How many exist today, and what are their current names if any do exist? -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 18, 20:24 4
- See, that's not a fair question, as the NFL didn't become the NFL until 1922. It was the... - Mr. Havens Jan 18, 20:48
- did any go out of business? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 18, 20:29 2
