Apparently there was a time in the 17th century where some Brits said "zee". I guess they all moved to the colonies.
Yes, we posted the naughty people who had issues with "zed" to nicer places and kept everyone else in our lovely damp, sunless deary island...

TIL, or maybe it should be Today I Did The Math, that for the UK to have the same number of McDonalds that the US has (Continental US has 1 for every 233 square miles), the UK would have to have 1 every 5.9 square miles. Given there are is about 1 per square mile from my house I'm thinking there are some large swaths of the US that are Big Mac Free. Most likely thanks to the western US Parks and the desert.

Post your 86 or see others in front of a(n) (in)famous landmark.
What fits in your 86? Show us the "Junk In Your Trunk".

Georgia has more Waffle Houses (430+) than McDonalds (365), and that's not a bad thing.
