    The main thing I've learned from this exercise is that White Castle lists grocery stores where you can buy frozen hamburgers in their restaurant locator.

    11 for 11. And none of our copy editing friends noticed that they botched the location of the Pentagon.

    If you're talking about the War of 1812, you're dead wrong. It wasn't a loss, it was a draw.

    Non-sequitir. The War of 1812 ended with a status quo antebellum treaty after the British failed on two prongs of their three-pronged invasion in 1814. Not to mention the Royal Navy suffered as many single-ship losses in the first six months of the War of 1812 than they had in the previous 20 years of such battles. Then there were the two squadron victories on Lake Erie and Lake Champlain, both of which stalled or stopped the British army from meeting objectives.

    And I hardly mentioned the Battle of New Orleans, which saw the Redcoats get bitchslapped by a bunch of militia, pirates and a few regulars under Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson.

    The Vietnam War ended with American forces airlifting themselves out of Vietnam after failing to meet their objectives. Whether that had more to do with the political realities of fighting an unpopular war or the U.S. not being able to handle insurgents who knew the territory is up for debate.
