A couple of things I didn't know

[sobrique]

In the UK, a game was invented that involved kicking a ball around with your feet. It was called 'football'.

In the US, a game was invented that had a ball that was a foot long. It was also called 'football'.


Edit: I stand corrected

The "World Series" isn't. It's actually "The World" Series. "The World" being a newspaper.
