Lithos,

Britain got into the major fighting on May 1940 and officially in the War Sep 1939. The Fins had asked for help and it didn't come. Those guys put up a hell of a fight against uncle Joe.
We didn't officially get into the war until Dec 7, 1941. I see that not only your history is dodgy, do is your elementary math.

I think it was Niall Ferguson who said, "They War started on the September 1, 1939 - that's a very Western view."

I was using the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, in 1937, when history was forever changed when a Japanese soldier left his unit to take a sly leak, then things went rapidly downhill from there. Roughly five years. To be fair, we didn't get in until two years later.

Urination probably plays a larger part in history than the books let on.

While the math wizards are looking at all these numbers and statistics have they figured out what is more dangerous, living in Chicago or driving to a resort area during a summer holiday weekend?
