    No, but I do know that the French language has no word for "victory".

    "Victoire". Actually the English word is derived from Old French -- Latin root of course, so I really don't see how you came to believe that.

    <speculation> It is quite possible that your comment was meant as a joke and that I simply failed to appreciate its awesome funniness. It might be because Frenchmen do not have a sense of humor. But who needs that when you have French fries and French kisses? </speculation>
    French fries aren't French. They come from Belgium. Also, to add insult to the victory, currently the traditional Belgian fries taste a lot better than the modern French fries.

    First hint that one has been living in Pennsylvania too long: you forget that in civilized states, you can buy beer in a Quickie Mart.

    //I love living in Pittsburgh, but the fact that I can't buy beer in the grocery store like civilized people just kills me.

    Man, PA is TRWTF. Where else would the roads be under construction 11 months out of the year without ever actually improving? I'm pretty sure the real reason they kept the 55 speed limit for so long after everyone else raised theirs is because you can lose fillings driving over those roads.

    Also, whenever I have to drive through PA I make sure the tank is full and never get off the Interstate because those dinky things posing as merge lanes - which actually aren't intended to be used for merging, as one kind officer pointed out - terrify me.

    As a french person living near Belgium, I must say it's totally true. ^^

    Why ? Because in Belgium they have kept the old way to cook fries : in beef fat ("blanc de boeuf") rather than in vegetal oil. This is just wonderful. Industrial fries in oil are awful once you've tasted real ones...

    People in Norway travel to Sweeden to buy their liquor and beer because it is cheeper there.

    People in Sweden travel to Denmark to buy thier liquor and beer because it is cheeper there.

    People in Denmark travel to Germany to buy their liquor and beer because it is cheeper there.

    People in Germany don't feel the need to travel to buy liquor and beer.

    People in Finland travel to Russia to buy their liquor and beer for no reason.

    Getting back all the "free" liquor they "gave" the Russian during the second world war I guess...

    I remember McDonald's was sued because they fried their fries in beef tallow. Vegans/Vegetarians were quite upset as they expected them to be pure potatoes and vegetable oil.

    The reason for the name french fries is because of the technique not the location. Depending on where you read it... Back in the old days when french fries and stuff were becoming popular in the USA you had all kinds, zuchini, potatoes, etc and where called french fried <fill in> potatoes where the ones that really caught on, names got shorted and you end up with french fries.

    Also the Belgiums use a specific type of potato that you cannot easy get in the US. They also use to use horse tallow but have switched to beef or even vegtable. There are still a few places where horse is used.

    Actually, while "The Beer Store" (old name: Brewers' Retail) appears to have similarities to the "LCBO" retail outlets, they are private-sector stores, owned and run by the three biggest breweries in Ontario: Molsons, Labatt's and Sleemans. Many other breweries also sell their products through them. They have certain regulations and conditions imposed by the Ontario government agencies and their articles of incorporation, but they are not a government agency.

    Chris:
    Ummm, The Beer Store is NOT owned by the province of Ontario. Not sure where you got that from. In fact not even a piece of it is owned by Canada at all. After years of consolidations The Beer Store is now owned by Labatt (49%), Sleeman (2%) and Molson Coors (49%) all of which are foreign owned companies.

    As mentioned, The Beer Store is operated by Brewer's Retail, kind of like a Farmer's Cooperative. Up until 1995, 2006, and 2005 respectively, all three brewing companies were Canadian owned and operated. They still operate out of Canada (check out their websites) and make up the lion's share of the Canadian beer market.

    Yeah, and you can lodge a formal complaint about the Vogons' construction plans.
