timepiececlockAmericans who don't live in the SF Bay Area:
Do you know what a "valley girl" is? Or, do you know what "valley girl talk" sounds like?
I'm curious, because I was chatting with my mom, and she thinks valley girl is a slang term that's fairly specific to the Santa Clara Valley and the South Bay. I was surprised... I hadn't thought that it might just be a local phrase, and not a more spread out one, because I'd heard it a lot growing up. I could certainly identify a valley girl stereotype in a movie or on tv. Which of course makes me California-centric, I admit, but hey I do live here.

Emperor Norotn is my favourite monarch. He started no wars, taxed no one into starvation, oppressed no people. No one ever had to die in his name. There aren't many Crowned heads who can claim that!

The British Empire once had a 20 minute war with an Africian nation, but peace was decalred before any fighting. I'm not sure if that is the shortest ever war?
