"I wonder what that country name means..."
For y'all wonderers:
Cuba = Cuba Libre, free of capitalists, except some at Guantanamo Bay. Bay of Pigs is something else.
"Bay of Pigs (Spanish: Bahía de Cochinos) is an inlet of the Gulf of Cazones on the southern coast of Cuba. "
"The English translation of cochinos as pigs is erroneous. In the Caribbean, it is a common name for the Orangeside triggerfish (Sufflamen verres), that inhabits coral reefs in Bahía de Cochinos, rather than swine (Sus scrofa)."
[MY NOTE: Now, if you want to catch some of that triggerfish (there are some at Gitmo, too), who may have triggered terror, you shouldn't be...trigger-happy.
Squeeze the intel(ligence/strategic information, in military sense) out of them.
You know why?
Coz there's INTEL INSIDE!!!. :)
Don't just "Texas shoot'em".
Instead, try to surf near them, using a surfboard. Some call it...waterboard.
Hey! Whatever gets the job done.]
Polska = Poland.
CCCP = USSR.
R.O.C. = Republic of China = Taiwan (while mainland China is People's Republic of China).
Haute-Volta = Burkina Faso (not that you have a less foggy idea now).
Rep. Malgache = MADAGASCAR (no, Bubba, that ain't some kind of NASCAR)
What's the difference between butterflies and moths?
Moths form the majority of this order; there are thought to be 150,000 to 250,000 different species of moth (about ten times the number of species of butterfly), with thousands of species yet to be described.[1]
"Butterflies comprise the true butterflies (superfamily Papilionoidea),
the skippers (superfamily Hesperioidea)
and the moth-butterflies (superfamily Hedyloidea).
[MY NOTE: moth-butterflies...very clever name, to distinguish between the two.
How stupid helpful is that? :) ]
All the many other families within the Lepidoptera are referred to as moths."
Guantanamo Bay - INTEL INSIDE!!!
