--------------------TODAY...APRIL 11th... ... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...
-------------------INFO...THE FOUR...ONE...ONE...(411)
I worked with a guy once who told me "I'm gonna dump my girlfriend!"
"Oh," sez I, "Why's that?"
"That's the third time she's moved without telling me her new address!"
Alright, I gave in and looked it up. Apparently it's the directory assistance phone number, and is American slang for relevant information, details, or gossip.
Meaningless outside of the USA because a) it's not that phone number and b) the rest of the world would write it as 11/4.
Apparently 420 is to do with marijuana use - nothing to be proud of for the approximate 22% of Americans who do, which is more than treble the UK use and four times the global average...and these are people who have guns...
The only date that has any wider resonance that I'm aware of is Star Wars day, and that's because it doesn't use numbers.

You're right, but you should also include pi day, 3.14, in that list.
Also only works in the U.S., because anyone else calls it 14/3.

The way of writing dates isn't metric - officially the metric way is YYYY-MM-DD.
May the 4th works because we say it that way, it's the illogical way you write it that's the problem.
As for checking Americans - what's the name of the language that you speak (more or less)?
Given recent behaviour, the one thing Americans do need is checking - in the sense of "keeping in check" .
--------------WE LEFT EVERYTHING BEHIND.....IN 1776 A.D.............

You're proud of cancer-causing cigarettes - nice.
Boasting about being 250 years old, to someone from a country that's been around for nearly 1000.
As for Star Wars:
Star Wars was filmed globally, mixing studio sets in the UK (Elstree, Pinewood) with iconic natural landscapes. Key filming locations include Tunisia (Tatooine), Norway (Hoth), Redwood National Park (Endor), Guatemala (Yavin 4), Italy (Naboo/Villas), Spain (Naboo), Bolivia (Crait), Ireland (Ahch-To), and Iceland.
BTW it would have helped if you'd turned up when the world wars started...still, I see you're being really punctual this time.
