      "In 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed the ocean blue"...and landed in Cuba. And then Haiti. Never set foot in North America let alone discovered it.

      Are Cuba & Haiti part of North America?

      The Caribbean

      Yes, but aren’t they technically part of the North American continent? If so, then Columbus discovered America :lol:

      Elvis never performed a single encore, so when he left, he wasn't coming back. Hence the phrase, "Elvis has left the building."

      It’s very satisfying to wake up at night after one hour of sleep, thinking that you’ve been sleeping at least six hours - only to realize that you can still sleep for hours.

      Columbus didn't discover anything. There was a whole bunch of people that already knew it was there. :D

      Haha! That's interesting, I looked it up and it seems it depends if you're speaking continentally, geo-politically, geographically...The Caribbean is its own entity but some islands are considered part of North America, or South America, or Central America. So the Caribbean is North American in the same way people from Russia are Asian lol.

      I like this analogy :smile:

      Well, most real hackers do not use a GUI so I guess that is 2 useless facts in one.

      Almost all security penetration testing and training is done on a UNIX-like command like or at least via the keyboard.
      Clicking on a script with a mouse is not hacking; writing the original script is.

      Computers need keyboards but don't need a mouse.

      I would say Elevator not escalator.

      Rudimentary elevators are known to have been in use in ancient Rome as far back as 336 B.C., with the first reference of one built by the talented Archimedes.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America

      "The Caribbean islands, or West Indies, are considered part of North America. The continental coastline is long and irregular. The Gulf of Mexico is the largest body of water indenting the continent, followed by Hudson Bay."

      It's probably all that vinegar they use to cut the sauce so it's not as spicy.

      Also, Tabasco sauce and coffee go well together. If you like hot sauce. It's like spicy coffee.
