Reply to comment by KindAwareness3073 in TIL That the deadliest loss for the British in the American Revolutionary War was in Nicaragua. by Front-Insurance9577
A battle between two opposing belligerents in the American Revolution, that wouldn't have happened without the American Revolution, had nothing to do with the American Revolution? Being you must be fascinating.

Reply to comment by ChuckChuckelson in TIL that when the French first arrived in North America they met the Ojibwe Indians who introduced them to other tribes but used nasty names. The Lakota/Dakota people were called "Nadowessiwag," which became Nadouessioux in French, then Sioux in English. It means "little snake." by marmorset
My family's name was changed that way. The census guy came around and my great-great-etc. wasn't home. "Who lives there?", "Oh, Lame Nicolas lives there". And from then on, that was our name. Kootzinicole.
Luckily my great grandfather stole another family's name when he snuck into the U.S.

Reply to TIL that Transdermal Celebration by Ween has a guitar solo that was played with Carlos Santana's guitar without him knowing it. Ween sneaked into the storage where Santana's tools were, played the solo just once, recorded it, and left the place. That solo is the one used in the final song. by outfoxingthefoxes
Fucking Ween.
