IIRC it was brought up on this thread that technically the US uses a monarchist mace and the UK a republican one, ironically enough.

Well, 500 posts is halfway to the 1000 post mark, where your post count stops going up (except on your profile page, of course). So you're halfway there. As in the lyrics to Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi.

Just a throwaway joke.

The picture was from the website I linked to. It is a real picture. (The lady in the picture drove a Mustang modified with a Chevy engine.)
As for the other pictures, go look in the back page of Consumer Reports.

1/ Anglicanism =/= (Roman) Catholic, as they're apparently suggesting.
2/ Doesn't their wording make it look as though helping the Jews was actually Cromwell's main motive?!?

The factual difference was quite tiny, to be honest. Anglicanism and Roman Catholicism increased their theological divide mainly after the XVII.

Thomas Jefferson made a lightbulb?

The tree of liberty must be watered from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants while sheltered in an electrically lit greenhouse kept at a constant twenty eight degrees centigrade.
