Several other Central American countries also celebrate September 15 as their independence day.


Correct. Today is the day for freedom from Spain. May 5, aka Cinco de Drinko, isn't even celebrated in Mexico but instead, it's the day the Mexicans defeated the French in a battle.

No, we put them on our tanks. Razz


No exaggeration. I'm sitting here drinking some Gatorade and reading the forum when this post made me spray my desktop and I'm so happy having read the comment that I don't even care that I have to clean it all up.

Excellent.
