No.  America was named more than 2 centuries before the Russians came to Alaska.  Sure, it wasn't "The United States of America" then.  But it was called America.

- Tea is disgusting. No way you just enjoy water, sugar, and leaves mixed together  :-|.
Tea is awesome - both hot and iced.  Never was a real coffee fan though.

Though I do wonder about the discovery of tea ...

Maybe two cavemen, Igg and Ogg, were out hunting mammoth for that night's dinner when they came across a pond.

Igg:  "Look at that water ... it's all brown colored from all of the leaves floating in it!"
Ogg:  "???"   (puzzled look)
Igg:  "???"   (puzzled look)
Ogg:  "I have an idea!  Let's drink it!"

Igg and Ogg were definitely both guys, then.

- This 'Spring Forward' thing wouldn't be a problem if it happened during 2 pm on Monday.

Since I used to work graveyard shift at a hospitality business, I used to work during the time changes every year (since Saturday was one of our busiest nights, and time change is Saturday going into Sunday). It wasn't terrible to deal with, but I think most people would consider it more of a problem if it was during most people's active hours.

Spring forward wasn't a problem most of the time. The clock just goes from 0:59 to 2:00. This does mean that you're an hour short on your worked hours. This kind of sucks if you need every dollar you can get, but I was doing well enough that it never bothered me.

Fall back is what caused all of the problems. First off, we were already working nine-hour shifts, and extending that to ten hours is not a lot of fun, even if you do get to make back the hour you lost in spring. Then, we had a lot of technical issues with Multimedia-brand (now Everi) slot machines refusing to accept tickets after the time change that were printed before the time change (i.e. they wouldn't accept a ticket printed at 1:59 five minutes later at 1:04 because the timestamp on the ticket was in the future). So many customers could not get that if they wanted to play that machine they had to either use another voucher or cash it in first. Also, there was the problem of logging that time on paperwork and such. If you open up a machine at 1:05 and there is an issue arising later that needs to be checked on the accounting system or surveillance, how do you communicate on the log that you were there at the first 1:05 and not the second 1:05?

Maryland has designated jousting and lacrosse as its official state sports. I kind of want to see them make a hybrid between the two called marylandball.

Put your chin on the tabletop.  Open your mouth.  Insert food.  Bite down.

I always get a chuckle whenever I drive by this trailer park.  The term caudillo means, roughly, a military dictator.  Why someone thought that would be a great name for a neighborhood, I don't know.

Here's one worse (it's a street name, though, not a neighborhood).

One time in middle school, we had to create a fictional neighborhood for a project of some sort, and I picked a few random street names to use, this one among them. So of course, the teacher said "Um, you may want to pick another name"... so of course I looked it up the next chance I got, and was quite surprised and amused with my findings... LOL!!

Huh?  The actual biting action would be accomplished by your top jaw moving down.  Your bottom jaw would remain in place on the tabletop, and your upper jaw would be the only one moving.
