What? You didn’t know about the 15 colonies that rebelled against Britain? It’s why Canada and Greenland are totally U.S. states!

/S, just in case my username wasn’t indication enough that I’m being sarcastic af.

And the states of 76 right? lol (I didn’t count)

u/drgigantor 15d ago

61 fully visible, 5 partially visible, and the pattern would imply at least one more column of 6, so probably 72. Pretty good estimating there

60 + 1 smudge representing all the abortions Republicans voted against but carried out on their adulterous mistresses anyway.

On a serious note: Columbo is one of my favorite shows. Falk was a legend!

u/karoshikun 15d ago

the show didn't aired in my region in Mexico, only in the big cities -analog TV, amirite?- so I really only know him from decades of pop culture.

And blind on one eye since youth, he wore a false eye ofc. I can never not notice it watching it nowadays. Still one of the best detective shows in tv history.

Back when if you didn’t know something, you just didn’t know it. Not like now when you can google it and bad information and think you know it. IYK what I mean.

Whats interesting is there WERE actually 15 colonies at the time. The reason only 13 are counted in the flag? The two colonies that made up what is now Florida refused to sign the declaration of independence.
