The Christkind is interesting, since it was actual an invention by Luther to discourage the Saint based Nicholas figure, yet it has caught on more in catholic regions, while the Protestant ones got whole hardly conquered Santa Claus. Seriously, event the Weihnachtsmann of my childhood is significantly different than the one of today. And it's not really Baby Jesus, more like a child-like angel/ Christmas spirit thing. It also played a significant part in shifting the day for the major gifting from the sixth to the 24th (or 25th if you are some savage I guess). The entire history of Christmas is really interesting, with many people seeing it apparently as one of the cornerstones of western civilization and Christianity as a whole, when it is actually not all that important for either.

Plus, being Norwegian I would like to know why they consider such a small part of the country to belong to "core Europe". I can't imagine that Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim are any less European than Oslo or Kristiansand. I'm p sure whoever made the map stayed in one or a few cities in the pink area and literally never went to the local countryside during their lives Or they aren't even European

Some of those were meant as compliments. Dumas said Africa begins at the Pyrenees because he thought Spain was exotic and cool. e: actually, Google is apparently unsure whether he said it at all. e2: I also found a great Afrocentric link with an interesting take on Spanish history: quote:Furthermore, just as is testified by the currently living Black Palestinians, Iraqis, Iranians, Saudi Arabians, Kuwait, Oman, Yemen, etc, black people have always been the original population of Middle East and they remain an integral part of that geographical zone to this very day. The paler skinned Arabs who constitute the media definition of Arab are comparatively recent immigrants into the Middle East. Yet, those paler type Arabs have so inter-mixed with the original black owners of Middle East that they have become a sub-group of the black African race and culture. It is impossible to tell between a morphologically black Arab and a paler Arab, which is more ethnically pure. Sounds legit Phlegmish fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Dec 28, 2014 |

Steak tartare isn't a Tatar cuisine thing, no. It is named after the sauce, which probably has a Tatar origin, but nobody is super sure about why the sauce is named what it is.

The (entirely fake, with no basis in truth whatsoever) folk etymology for steak Tartar/American is that the Mongols/Cowboys would keep tough beef in their saddlebags and, over the course of riding all day, the motion of the horse would tenderize the meat and then they would eat it raw.

That's why New Jersey isn't considered to be a peninsula, among other things. New Jersey isn't considered a peninsula not because rivers "don't count" but because it's part of a continuous landmass. That's why it's a land mass that has multiple peninsulas extending from it.
