despite them misspelling Libya, these rocks do exist (in several places, including Romania)

Correct!

Note that this is just for park (or National Historic Site) admission, not for additional services such as mooring at any of the locks on the Rideau Canal or using the hot springs in the Rockies.

Confirmed!


(So there's a "Swedish" town in Japan in real life. I guess I know which country their equivalent Girls und Panzer team takes after. As for tanks, Wikipedia has a list.)

A question.

Do you guys walk everywhere, or do you use a bus, car or bicycle every once in a while?

Or do you think Wonder Woman's invisible aircraft is useless because she can fly?

Depending on the comic, Aquaman can swim at anywhere from 100 mph to 7,000 mph. Speedboats generally top out at 92 mph in ideal circumstances, so they are mostly useless to Aquaman unless he's carrying passengers, in which case the boat still isn't for his benefit, but for the benefit of the other guy.

Wonder Woman's invisible aircraft dates from before she was retconned to be able to fly and rarely shows up in the same continuity when she can, sooo...

As Shepherd said, to my knowledge, Aquaman can swim extremely fast,

I have no idea where they got that image from (it doesn't match the historical record at all), but, other than that, the story is accurate... as far as it goes.

What they didn't mention - and I'm quite surprised that they didn't mention it, given what else they've mentioned in other snippets - is that Lincoln was accompanied in his trip by another Pinkerton detective, who stayed awake while Lincoln slept on the train from Baltimore to Washington, thus giving rise to the Pinkerton slogan "We never sleep" and the corporate "unblinking eye" logo that gave private detectives the nickname "private eyes".

Also, the detective that accompanied Lincoln was Kate Warne, the very first female detective hired by Pinkerton.
