The French are mocked so commonly solely because their perceived haughtily indignant attitude makes the act of mocking them more funny than actual joke itself. The outraged injustice of being insulted reveals an inferiority-complex and need to be seen as equal to their more successful English rivals, while thinking they're not seen as equals and need to be so proves they fear they might secretly believe their actual inferiority.
While everyone thinks themselves the best, nobody would demonize the French more than any other group if they didn't find their mockery invalid and outrageous and not an amusing novelty like Canadians, factual like Kazakhs, irrelevant like Poles or based on jealousy like Americans. Their persecution is contingent and compounding on their need to overcome it.
No one will admit they want to know what a terminally ill parent or close friend is leaving them
The importance of political debate and rhetoric should be replaced with a government-funded simple graph of the different party's ideologies, views on popular issues, changes they will implement, the perceived major problems, how to over come them, how they would govern and why they're a superior choice over the other parties. If politicians were honest and truly interested in improving their country, they wouldn't appeal to charisma and personal charm to assume office. The spreadsheet should be published in all major newspapers and presented by all politically involved forms of private media companies. Getting political information from network news mandates a manipulated analysis of subjective partisan interests. Federal corporations should exclusively provide televised debates with private media solely commenting on it; a leader's social grace, tact and image are important, but not the most important.
The Buddhist themes of selflessness, negative materialism and contemplative minimalism are products of a densely populated society a very large, economically repressed lower class with few possessions and devalued importance of personal identity.
The popularity of jewellery with women shows they value their image and attractiveness over their desire to be men's equals, though its probably just a result of the residual role of life as beautified trophies and status symbols
Interstate 69 had its name changed soon after being built as the road signs were very expensive and stolen faster than they could be replaced.
Multicoloured money is a good idea
American bills have better art and design than Canadian ones but it's easy to mistake a $1 for a $10 or even just any of them as any other
No butterfly has ever caused a hurricane
People crave violence, chaos and conflict
Bad news sells
Why is there a Swiss army knife and no Swiss army?
Who thought clogs were a good idea?
Gummy bears aren't kosher
Honey is infinitely healthier than sugar
Honey is the only food that never spoils
Men named John have either boring, absent, or a very perverse sex life
All human adults will at some point only want their mommy
No one has ever read the 'terms and conditions of use' they agree to
Sluts are often named after liquor
Spongebob isn't gay, as a sponge he's a hermaphrodite/tranny
Its easier to act eccentric and seem intelligent than it is to actually be so
Winter was invented by clothing companies
Logic is an invention of the Liberal media
Used car salesmen are highly evolved carnies, who are descended from gypsies

Liquid honey does not spoil. Because of its high sugar concentration, it kills bacteria by osmotic lysis. Natural airborne yeasts cannot become active in it because the moisture content is too low. Natural, raw honey varies from 14% to 18% moisture content. As long as the moisture content remains under 18%, virtually no organism can successfully multiply to significant amounts in honey.
Pasteurized honey can spoil.

Adding:
In ancient Egypt, honey was used to treat and temporarily seal open wounds, due to the factoid above.

----------------------
Also interesting fact:
The original Buddha taught that gods were unimportant in reaching enlightenment. Then, after he died they deified him. Sort of an interesting paradox.

A drug induced musing of my own:
Ever notice how the shittier the American economy gets, the more the money starts to look like that of third world countries?

I-69 is called I-69. It goes from Indianapolis, Indiana to Sarnia, Michigan. The signs don't get stolen much since everyone who thinks that joke is funny either has a sign or has died of old age. The little alcohol store at exit 34 in Anderson, just north of Indianapolis, is called "69 Liquors" has T-shirts that you can buy with their name on them.
