I'm not reviving the discussion. I am just throwing that little bit of trivia into the mix. ;^)
Did you know that when a NCSU professor reviewed a high school science textbook that he found our Linda Rondstat (sp?) was a lithium crystal?
Yeah, yeah...
Then there was the day that Corin, Jr. came home from kindergarten and told me that the South Americans killed Abraham Lincoln...
Actually, that's not technically inaccurate. The phrase "United Nations" was used quite a lot in reference to the Allied Forces in Europe. Quoting from the Combined Chiefs of Staff Directive for Operation Overlord found at this website here, "2. Task. You will enter the continent of Europe and, in conjunction with the other United Nations, undertake operations aimed at the heart of Germany and the destruction of her armed forces." If you scan further down that document, you find "United Nations" turning up again and again. If I recall correctly, the radio address which announced the invasion referred to "United Nations forces". So, the phrase was in active use long before the actual formation of that (hack, ptui) august body.
Almost enough to make one invest in tinfoil, eh what?
