I am a treasure trove of random and useless knowledge. It’s a well-known fact among friends and something I like about myself very much. I often call myself “game show smart”, meaning if you were on a game show and needed a phone-a-friend, I’m your gal. Often times, people assume that I have actual knowledge. The sad truth is, I know a little about a lot of things and if they’re history or geography related, you may as well be asking my cat.
Once someone asked me about the United Kingdom and England. “What’s the difference?” He or she said. Normally, I am very honest when I don’t know something. But this particular time I was at a party showboating my game show smarts. I had been knocking people out of the park with answers to random questions and I was feelin myself. So I made something up. I said that England was part of the United Kingdom as a whole. It satisfied the party and I excused myself to go to the bathroom/fact check Wikipedia. As luck would have it, I’m an amazing guesser. Unfortunately I am a horrible studier and didn’t look into any follow up on the subject and kind of just let it go.
Until now! Some kindhearted soul who is probably tired of their sad, dumbass friends asking questions about the subject decided to make an illustrated video on the subject! Hurrah! It’s REALLY informative and short! I am a product of the go-go 80’s. I do not have time for the History Channel unless you microwave it.
