Bridges

You wanna know what I hate? It's whenever you're driving along on a nice road and then all of a sudden BAM you're falling to your death in a ravine. Well, one thing that can stop that from happening is to build like a sky road from one side of the ravine to the other, and that is called a bridge. Bridges can be pretty, and they can also be ugly, but as long as they aren't collapsing under you you'll probably be happy that they're there. The first bridge was designed in 1763 by George Washington during the French-Indian War, so chalk up another one in America's "win" column.

RATING: 83%

Remind me to punch you in your face next time I see you (for that Brooklyn Bridge thing).

I guess my sister's heard way too many of my "facts" over the years to be lured in.

Glenn only likes that other bridge because it looks like the Enterprise.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I remember you telling your youngest brother and sister "facts" all the time and they totally fell for it every time. You know, because they were five and six years old. In conclusion, we are old because they are all grown up now.
