Technically they did when Chile was under Spanish rule and the Brits aided the pro-independence forces against the royalists. :eng101:

Apparently there wasn't an actual flag in the room during the national anthem so they saluted his pants instead.

Yes, I also checked the Wikipedia article.
But not only was it not a war, but also was not Chile, but Spain (just like pre-1776 US is not really the US)

DrBouvenstein: Feb 28, 2007; I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.

There was a Letter to the Editor in my local newspaper today about how "offensive" the ad campaign is for a new Family Guy-themed scratch-off lotto ticket (yeah...those exist...let that sink in for a bit...and apparently it's offensive because it uses the word 'freakin', which is a synonym for 'loving' so therefore it's exactly the same as if they used the word 'loving'.)

But the picture accompaning it is...uhh...

It's like the Universe B version of the family.

Considering the kind of realism Playmobil usually goes for, I can sort of imagine this set actually existing if it had more banal packaging. This one is pretty close (the part before everything starts caving in):

Actually FreaKin are people who think they are a Nordic goddess, nothing to do with loving.

Also not sure how you could consider them to have been at war with Kazakhstan without also being at war with Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. And probably Belarus too for that matter.

I thought at first it was counting all those nations under the Crimean War since they were part of the Russian Empire, but then Kazakhstan and Belarus would be in red.

Also I don't think Britain invaded Poland unless you count either that time Poland helped some Danish king invade during viking times, or again Britain invading nations that at the time owned at least parts of Poland.

I can't even watch the first couple seasons of The Simpsons. It's terrible.

Same goes for South Park, even.

That's weird...out of all the images you can get from a GIS...all the promotion images Foxputs out for media to use...that's what they go with?

Well, a random hick-person in this paper's hick-circulation area describes it as a "smartly written adult cartoon series." It IS a Letter to the Editor, after-all.
