England isn't an island. It's bordered by Scotland to the north and Wales to the west.

Yeah, England is an island in the sense that all land masses are 'islands'.

Mrs. Sheep informed me, not long after we began dating in 2006, that the gas gauge in a car has a little arrow to indicate which side the filler is on. That was an eye-opener.
This used to be very common, but I haven't seen the indicators in newer cars. Probably because putting the filler on the passenger side is stupid.

By this logic, the USA is an island.

Sorry, I should have said 'on an island' or some shite. I don't know. I was trying to agree with you btw

Electric or manual? Can openers can be tricky these days. Top cutter or side cutter?

You really....REALLY suck at this thread.
It's like me saying that nobody knew that my pet cat's name when I was little was Fuzzy. This thread is about common/obvious things that shocked you that someone didn't know.
One that got me years ago was that the gas gauge in vehicles has an arrow that points to the side that the gas tank entry (cap) is on.

Great Britain is an island. England is a part of Great Britain.

She asked me why they would give tourists information when they are trying to kill us.
Zing I had one that said "pacifically" instead of "specifically" and "curve" instead of "curb".
Great booger though!

What do you do with Northern Ireland, then?
Posted on 4/22/14 at 1:05 pm to Tiger1242
When plunging a toilet, you should submerge it, slowly press down to get all of the air out of the plunger, and then work the plunger to shove water in and out. Don't keep pulling the plunger out of the water trying to shove air down the hole. (This one might not be fair since my life experiences have forced me to become an expert at plunger use.)

Are you seriously asking or being rhetorical?

It's part of Great Britain and not a part of the other landmass that you called the island of Great Britain.

How old was she when 9/11 happened?

Ok, I guess you were serious (hard to tell on the OT). Great Britain is the biggest island out of all of the British Isles. Northern Ireland is on the island of Ireland which is also a part of the British Isles.
