    This is a painting by Edouard Manet, who witnessed the battle between the USS Kearsarge and CSS Alabama off the coast of France. The Alabama is burning in the front, with the Kearsarge visible through the smoke behind it. Look carefully at the flag flying off of the stern of the Alabama. Look familiar?

    Pet peeve time.

    This is the Confederate flag. This is the Confederate naval jack. Confusing the two is like confusing this and this.

    I realize you're probably just using clip-art on the page, but if you're aiming for historical accuracy...

  7. Re:The typical "USA sucks" drivel from Europe by Amanset · · Score: 1 · on Copyrights and Copywrongs

    To be honest, if you look at the (dwindling) list of British colonies here, and then look at a map of the world, you will see that Britain still has colonies spread far enough apart such that at any time of day one of them is under sunlight. This, of course, is the meaning of the phrase, "The sun never sets on the British Empire". It is often misunderstood - many people seem to think it means that the British Empire will never end.

    The phrase refers to how far spread the empire is/was, not how long it was expected to stay or how powerful it is/was.
