WTF are you talking about? The remake is friggin' awesome. When I get a little spare cash I'll be buying it right away. Beats the crap out of the old one, that's for sure.

I suspect anyway there's a chance he meant something other than Dagget.

Yes, I do like directed acyclic graphs.

Pelé is a soccer/football legend. Google him.

We don't have "frequent tornados," we just happen to have a section of the country named Tornado Alley, because it's a flat, open section of the country that is somewhat more prone to tornados because of its topography.

Building our houses out of wood has nothing to do with tornados, we have insurance policies for that. 90% of Americans never even witness a tornado in their lifetime. We build our houses out of wood, because wood is an abundant, renewable resource, and just happens to be a great insulator. Also, the rate that houses are being built now doesn't really allow for too many wooden houses. They're all plastics and polymers with concrete supports.

[The Redneck]

I work in construction, and they're still made of wood.

And the main reason is that if you built of stone strongly enough to resist a tornado, your house would be as expensive as hell and you'd have to be filthy rich to be able to buy one--those things will tear apart concrete schools and office buildings just as easily as wooden houses. And because of the way we build them, not only do they stand up to tornados better, but when they don't they're easier to rebuild.

There are players in the mexican league that are waaaaaaay better than beckham.Either beckham is investing or he is getting overpaid :P

another question

Why was the UK known as Albion?

Because we don't follow the Mexican League. The only football we follow is british and European.
Beckham is so great because he's always in the tabloids, he produces the goods and has become a celebrity in his own right. Style Icon/Model/Famous Dad. He diversified. So he's pretty good at marketing himself. Thats why he gets paid so much.
And as I said before, Beckham is pooor against Americas biggest stars. Here is an example, now probably out of date but from my World Sport Cultures Text book from school.
Roy Keane (another British hardnut Footballer) gets $80 000 a week.
Michael Jordan, now retired, gets $800 000 a week.

See what I mean?

I'm also pretty sure the UK has never been known as Albion.

We have a football team called West Bromidge Albion, but...apart from that I can't think of anything. Where did you hear that?

And I visited New Yoik. Was pretty much the first house out of the airport where I saw it. *scared still*
I counted about 27 US flags on one street as well.....Oh dear.
