Can it really be international if I have never seen one?
Far be it from ME to assert that they are in any way misnomered…Quote:

Let's hope they never go online as International Steak House Internet Tavern.
Now that you say it, "I hob" is Bavarian for "I have", make of it what you want. :creep:Quote:

That's a common misconception. The World Series (which is baseball, not American football) was named after its first sponsor, a New York newspaper named The World. The newspaper has been out of business for a long time, so I don't know why they don't change the name, but it never constituted a claim that the World Series is a world event, like the World Cup is.Quote:

What about NBA World Champions? The same story?Quote:
