I'm not accusing the Brits of being bitter, but it's always assumed that history has a certain slant to it based on who's writing it. I saw a sign from a Japanese museum that blamed the U.S.'s aggressions for their involvement in WWII.

I mean, obviously, you're not going to take credit for a war you didn't win. I'm referring more to the cause of the war. In our history books, it goes into a lot about how the Britains were essentially greedy despot bastards who took away our livelihood until we had no choice but to fight. I assumed that British textbooks referred to us as ungrateful upstarts or something like that.

Who Would Win?

Definitely Daffy. Besides being far more intelligent (rabbit tricks aside), his command of the English language is much more eloquent than Donald's. But if we take Kingdom Hearts as canon, Donald does have more battle experience than Daffy. So if it's strictly rooted in the cartoons, then I'd say Daffy, but if it's incorporating the video game Donald, then he'd win in a heartbeat with a well-placed Thundaga!

I haven't been in England for almost a month, but last time I filled up it was about 99p a litre.


I must say I'm not quite sure how that converts... curse my ignorance in the metric system and European money!

It also seems rather odd how easily Luke was put in charge of a squadron at the Battle of Yavin over his more experienced wingmen. I guess that's simply because of Biggs's "best bush pilot" statement. I bet he's kicking himself in heaven now! "Damnit, I should have said I was the best, and maybe I wouldn't have died!"

Mon Mothma: The Emperor's made a critical error, and the time for our attack has come.

EDIT: Oh, wait. I remember more of that line!

Mon Mothma: The data brought to us by the Bothan spies has pinpointed the exact location of this new Death Star. We also know that the weapon systems on this Death Star are not yet operation. But most important of all, we have learned that the Emperor himself is personally overseeing the final stages of construction. Admiral Ackbar please.
