    Okay, so allow me to explain the Steamed Hams lore: It is from the Simpsons episode "22 Short Films About Springfield". Principal Skinner invites Superintendent Chalmers to his home for a luncheon. However, he accidentally burnt his roast and knows Chalmers is on his way, so he sneakily goes to Krusty Burger and pass it off as his own. But Chalmers walks in as he climbs through the window to escape, so Skinner says he's getting rid of the smoke from the steamed "clams". Chalmers corrects him that it's steam, but he buys the lie anyway and leaves the kitchen, allowing Skinner to escape. Skinner returns with a plate of hamburgers, with Chalmers confused as he thought it was clams. Skinner says that he said steamed HAMS and that it's a regional dialect.
    Chalmers asks where, and Skinner says Upstate New York. Chalmers reveals he's from Utica and that he's never heard of hamburgers being called that. Skinner corrects him that it's an Albany expression. Chalmers notices that the burgers are the exact way Krusty Burger makes them and that they aren't steamed, they're grilled. Skinner, cornered, goes to the kitchen and noticed he forgot to turn off the oven...causing the whole kitchen to go on fire. When Skinner tries to rush Chalmers because of it, Skinner says that it's "Aurora borealis" in his kitchen. He is convinced.

    Bit more on the sparrow war in China. Basically as George said they started it because of sparrows eating some crops but after the massive cull they realised that sparrow ate more locusts than crops and by killing so any sparrows there wasn't any predators for the locusts so instead of killing a few thousand sparrows they had to kill billions of locusts those sparrows would have killed anyway.

This is if your apartment itself doesn't already have a smaller private sauna, which a lot do

    And no, the actual country of Chad doesn't have buff people walking around all over the place. Chad is ranked at the very BOTTOM of the Human Development Index, there's intercommunal clashes, terrorism, and it's one of the most corrupt countries around. And regarding Italy, it's not just regional dialects of Italian itself. Italian is a part of the Italo-Dalmation languages, and it's not the only language within it! Italian may be the only official language of the country, but it's not the only language spoken there! There's also Tuscan, Central Italian, Emilian, Sardinian, Venetian, Sicilian, and others. Though the general population likes to refer to these languages as dialects.

    1:37 idk why we use the month-day-year format either, but my personal theory is because it aligns more with how you usually say a date out loud. Like when telling someone the date you usually say "January 1st" instead of "the first of January" (at least in the US). I don't actually know that's just my theory.

    For anyone wondering about the China sparrow thing, the long and short of it was that the chinese government declared war on mosquitos because of malaria, rats and pigeons because of plague, and sparrows because they ate seeds out of sown crop fields. It was a very widespread campaign that utterly decimated the chinese sparrow populations, however the chinese government failed to realize that while the sparrow ate crop seeds, it mainly ate insects like locusts. With little to no sparrows left to perform population control, the locust population boomed to massive levels and caused more devastation to the crops than the sparrows ever could, which led to the great chinese famine of 1960-61, the most devastating famine in human history. So in an effort to prevent famine, Mao Zedong caused the biggest famine.

The only time the foot ever touches the ball is when they do a goal kick. Football in America should really just be called Tackle Ball or Barbarian Ball or Get-Concussions Ball- because that's what it is.
