According to my history teacher in high school, we were told that Finland is the only country that repaid its WWII debt to the U.S. from the Lend-Lease program.
Okay... So Finland is a small country and they probably didn't have much debt from Lend-Lease but it's not the money that's important.
Have you ever known a person who, if you take them out to lunch, they always ask whether they can pay their half of the bill, even if you say, "My treat?"
Finland is like that guy.
It's not so much about the money but more about the gesture and the respect that goes with it.
Finland heard you, President Trump. We know it's going to be America first, BUT number two IS NOT the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark or any other country. FIN...
Congratulations Americans! Looks like you have a new president. Before the election Donald Trump stated that he might leave the country if he loses. We know ...
This 81-year-old Italian man couldn't visit his wife in hospital, so he serenaded her from the street
If music be the food of love, play on -- especially when coronavirus restrictions leave you with little other option.
Prevented from visiting his sick wife in hospital, 81-year-old Stefano Bozzini decided to take to the street outside to serenade her on his accordion.
While Carla Sacchi, his wife of 47 years, watched from a second-floor window of the hospital in Castel San Giovanni, a town in Italy's northern Emilia-Romagna region, the sprightly troubadour played a medley of love songs on his accordion below.
I love this video, the recording of Universal Studios' 100th Anniversary Logo music. The newer orchestral arrangement and the addition of the choral voices really makes this theme epic. Not since the "Cinemascope Extension" to the 20th Century Fox logo has a opening logo given me chills.
Welcome to 2020, everything that happened before it is considered retro.
Regarding the current pandemic, I stumbled upon this little video from a few months ago. Kudos for the creator for the simulations, but it's somehow scary how things worked out in the end... I guess things like science and logic are still the best way to approach the world around us...
The Polish military was trying to defuse a 5,000 ton UXB that had been discovered at the bottom of a harbor (it had been intended to destroy a Nazi warship, but missed its target and sunk without detonating), and accidentally detonated it in the process.
The military spokesman also managed to nominate himself for the most obvious statement of the year award, when he told a press conference shortly afterwards that "the bomb is now considered safe."
Greenburgh Multiplex Cinemas in Elmsford NY, as revealed in one of the comments
D'oh! Thanks. Actually, I had looked in the comments, but since I watched the video & read the
comments within the 1st 24hrs or so of the video being posted, that comment wasn't there yet.
I've seen the video a few days before, it was clear to me the theater didn't close in 2005 as stated in the video, it wouldn't have looked like it did. What struck me were the big holes in the drywall. Some people apparently still thought there would be anything of value left in the place...
It was also clear they pulled all the digital projection and sound equipment, but apparently left the speakers and some of the still remaining 35mm gear.
