TIL that Singapore is the only country in the world that gained independence against its will. It was expelled from Malaysia in 1965, after a 126-0 vote in the Malaysian parliament. (en.wikipedia.org)

How is it that Americans always turn posts into showcases of how small minded they are on both sides of the aisle? Even if they're about an interesting event half a world away, two Americans just rip off their shirts and start pinching each other's nipples as hard as they can, trying to look manly as they do it.

Big brains will down vote and say "That's not what I do. I look really manly while grabbing nipples"
