The soccer pitch in Los Angeles has been renamed Stub Hub Center. It's actually in Carson, California.

You're a Star Wars child. May the 4th be with you. You missed the French guillotine by this much.

As do American footballers. Unless you're a New England American footballer. In that case you suck the face of the pig to deflate it before using it.

Please could you clarify what you mean here.
Do you mean, Humans can't go higher/lower than 12km or Machines can't?

Both of these are real sentences;
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo
James while John had had had had had had had had had had had a better effect on the teacher
Its easier to understand in context with the correct punctuation;
A teacher asked both James and John to describe a man who had previously suffered from a cold. John said 'the man had a cold' but James said 'the man had had a cold'. Therefore;
James, while John had had 'had', had had 'had had'; 'had had' had had a better effect on the teacher.

I have always been baffled by that second one, I must have first seen it over 40 years ago probably in something like the "Ladybird book of mindless crap for young gentlefolk". I just cannot see how either of them make any sense at all. Incidentally the second one I recall usually finishes "had had the teacher's approval". Anyone with an intellect immesurably superior to mine able to explain

Thank you.
If we're dealing in slightly odd European traditions, then allow me to introduce the concept of the 'caganer' to you.
A caganer is a feature of nativity scenes in the Catalunya region of Spain and takes the form of what is a basically a garden gnome, but with its trousers down and having a shit.
Traditionally they come in the form of a Catalan peasant wearing black trousers, a white shirt and a red cap, but these days they are made in a huge range of forms such as nuns, devils, Santa Claus, politicians, royalty, sports stars etc...
They take the inclusion of this very seriously in Catalunya, as per this article from 2005:
In 2005, the Barcelona city council provoked a public outcry by commissioning a nativity scene which did not include a Caganer. The local government was reported to have countered these criticisms by claiming that the Caganer was not included because a civility ordinance had made public defecation and public urination illegal, meaning that the Caganer was now setting a bad example. Many saw this as an attack on Catalan traditions. One writer of a letter to the editor asserted, "A nativity scene without a caganer is not a nativity scene." A second writer offered a win-win solution - he suggested including the caganer but also placing a figure of a police officer with a pen and clipboard next to him, writing a ticket for the infraction. The writer said this would achieve three objectives: respect tradition, comply with the ordinance and educate the public about how it is being reinforced, and finally, demonstrate how important it is to respect the law. Finally, the head of Parks and Gardens publicly denied prohibiting the caganer in the first place, saying that it was the artistic decision of the artist commissioned by the city to design and install the pessebre. Following a campaign against the caganer's absence called Salvem el caganer (Save the caganer), and widespread media criticism, the 2006 nativity restored the Caganer, who appeared on the northern side of the nativity near a dry riverbed.
