    In Maine: The word “Sebago” in Sebago Lake is taken from the local native word meaning “Big Lake.” This means that Sebago Lake means Big Lake Lake and Little Sebago Lake is Little Big Lake Lake.

    11:35 Not just females, only 100 male Orthodox pilgrims and 10 non Orthodox pilgrims are allowed per day. To actually live there permanently you have to be an over 18 male who is Orthodox. The reason no women are allowed is because its been controlled by monastic orders for centuries (since the Byzantines), the Virgin Mary is supposed to represent the only femininity on the mountain. No females also makes celibacy for the monks and pilgrims less difficult.

      1. The definition of a continent is lose and many don’t consider those islands to be part of the continent. Even Galápagos Islands official tourist website says “Located over 1000 km from the South American continent”
      2. I saw the sources you are referring to. I decided to go with the 12 since that seemed to be the most agreed upon method of counting colors.
      3. Another town is already serving as the de facto capital and a new town under construction. I know it’s still technically de jure but even that title will be lost here shortly.
      4. Don’t be ridiculous. Basically every dictionary defines it as “reddish-brown”

    • @HairyGhostbear
      @HairyGhostbear 2 роки тому +1

      1. I agree that Rapa Nui is mostly considered to be part of the Pacific/Oceania region, but the Galapagos are part of South America in almost all sources. A tourist website is not quite a reliable source for this. The Dutch official tourist website until recently referred to their country as 'Holland', although the country is named the Netherlands and Holland only refers to a part of the country.
      3. True, but at this point it is still Plymouth which has the smallest population. Who knows what will happen in the future: maybe the new capital will never be finished, it may never actually become the capital, there may be another volcanic eruption that wipes it away too, or there may be moving hundreds of people to King Edward Point for whatever reason, etc. It isn't a fact until it actually happens.
      4. Well, even the Cambridge English Dictionary and Oxford English Dictionary can't agree on each other. But even then: that is only in English. The word maroon is derived from French marron ("chestnut"), itself from the Italian marrone that means both chestnut and brown. In both languages, the colour maroon has a totally different word.
      Also: I'm not trying to criticise you or start a comment war here, but it is always good to add some necessary context when you drop facts

    0:26 "Brazil's northenmost point is closer to every country in the Americas [...] than Brazil's own southernmost point."
    Except for the UK (Falkland islands) and Denmark (Greenland).
    7:43 "If you count all France's territories, they have 12."
    There are more than 12 on your map (including metropolitan France, which is indeed "France's territory"), but today only the TAAF (Terres australes et antarctiques françaises) still have the "Territoire d'outre-mer" status, and they are made up of many islands and Terre Adélie (part of Antarctica).
    Anyway, it's a rather complicated subject, and I doubt any two French geographers or administrators would have the same count.

    Iran changed the name of the street that the UK embassy is on in Tehran to "Bobby Sands street". Sands was an Irish republican IRA hunger striker who died in 1981 in prison in Northern Ireland. He was also a member of the British parliament.

    In the Netherlands we have 2 bicycles one for daily business and we call kroegviets, it's just to get to the pub and back home. We don't really care about our kroegvietsen since, well we are most likely drunk when we ride them.
