    This right here, I've always been a history buff of sorts, and I realize the significance of so many Historical events. Not many share the same view nowadays, and the people who don't are probably too busy playing farmville to care.

      What's the old saying? If you don't know your history you're doomed to repeat it.

          If you didn't say anything about a movie I wouldn't have known it existed, but i'm pretty sure all my close friends know about Pearl Harbor though. Easy date for me to remember though, My mom's Birthday is December 8th :P.

                You know thinking more about this topic of history and how kids don't seem to care or know too much about it:

                I bet most kids if asked about the Battle of the Bulge would think it's about losing weight!

                    I do it in April, just not for football. Actually, I guess I do that long before April as I'm already going "Man, I can't wait until 2013 gets here when the Royals prospects will definitely be in the majors."

                        I was looking at the mock drafts long ago too. Actually, every Bills fan knows what they need for the 1st pick unfortunately like everything that happens to the Bills they get bad luck and will probably miss out on getting the QB they want in Andrew Luck.

                        "sigh"

                        Oh and don't talk to me about the Maple Leafs. They're up and down (mostly down) so that's good but um, yeah, Burke gave the draft picks to Boston!

                          Just a guesstimate, but I think the Louisiana Purchase and the purchase of Alaska from Russia alone cover more than half of the nation's total area. I could be wrong but that seems about right.

                              The Packers have only been truly bad twice in my life. Favre went 4-12 once, Rodgers went 6-10 once.

                              I consider it a fair trade, considering the constant crappiness of the Brewers.
