A couple of things I didn't know
Nov. 13th, 2006 11:57 amIn 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.
