Then don't pronounce Italia like Italians would but like a midwesterner would.

This confuses me since excepting a few years in Hawaii, I've always lived in the Midwest and don't think I've ever heard anyone pronounce it "Itaylia".

Huh? I mean, their penmanship isn't the best, but I see Adolph on one shell and Hitler on the sign. Seems like their spelling was fine?

That still doesn't make it sound like "genitalia", unless you've heard people say "gen-eye-talia". Also, Breaking Away was a work of fiction.

Oh my god you pedantic morons, the words "jen italia" COULD BE THOUGHT TO BE PRONOUNCED LIKE "genitalia", which results in humor. Maybe that's not the correct pronunciation of italia!!!!! WHO CARES

Nope, a buddy had a pilot with a firefighting plane drop thousands of gallons of water on him. Can't remember if it killed him or put him in a coma.

Well to be fair, any number of ALS challenges could have given any number of people brain damage and "one of the only ones" would still be technically correct.

Well according to the most reputable of sources, The Daily Mail, he was fine. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ater-Spain.html

The key to it would be that very little of that water will actually land on you, because the system is designed to disperse the water.
