WWI ended on the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. The dickhead statesmen came up with this time to make it memorable. Do you know the hour that any other war ended? Unless it was tied to a mnemonic? If you do, shut down your computer and get some fresh air.

Are you trolling? I'd make an honest bet that less than 1 percent of people holding masters degrees could answer this.

Harvard graduates can't even tell you why we have seasons.



I feel depressed that when I read his question, I guessed Mahogany.
