I'm back!~ Sorry it's taken a while to update. I've been working on some other stuff so it's hard to research random facts. Although, in my "research" I made an interesting discover. Does anyone remember that episode of SpongeBob where SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward are camping and attacked by the Sea-Bear? And Patrick and SpongeBob draw the white circle around them in the sand to protect themselves? This is definitely based of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale called "The Girl Without Hands". Anyway….
Fact: In France, you can legally marry a dead person as long as preliminary civic formalities have been completed which show that you and your fiancé had planned to marry before your fiancé died.
"Everyone! Guess what!?" France said, entering the conference room, "I am getting married!"
The other countries looked surprised. Married?
"That's great! But…to who?" Spain asked.
"It's not….Mattie, is it?" America asked, a concerned look on his face.
"No."
"Is it Seychelles? Or maybe Monaco?"
"No."
"Is it…Austria?"
*Le sigh* "No."
"Hungary? Wait, no, she hates you…"
"….Belgium?"
"No, it is Jeanne d'Arc!" France grinned.
The nations in the room went silent.
"…..ARE YOU BLOODY MAD!? She's been dead for the past 580 years!" Britain exclaimed.
"So, what!? We were planning on getting married before she died! So it's not weird!" France retorted, looking livid, "L'amour survives even past death!" With that he stormed out of the room.
"…..vait," Germany said, "580 years? Vouldn't her body be-"
France reentered the room, a skeleton tucked under his arm. France held up one of the skeleton's hands to reveal a ring on one of the fingers. "See!? It has my human name engraved into it! Right next to hers! Now, if you will excuse me, my wife and I-"
"UWAA! GERMANY! A DEAD PERSON! HELP ME!"
Fact: For some inexplicable reason, the Teletubbies theme song was extremely popular in both Britain and the Netherlands. It hit #13 in the Netherlands and #1 in the UK.
"Big brother!"
Netherlands quickly shut his laptop, just in time for Belgium to burst through the door, "Big brother, dinner is ready! Are you coming?"
He blushed, thanking the heavens that she hadn't seen what was on his laptop, "Y-yes. I'll be there in just a second."
Belgium raised an eyebrow at him, "What are you looking at?"
"N-nothing. Go away, I told you I'll be there in a second."
Belgium put her hands on her hips, "Are you looking at porn?"
"No!"
Belgium maintained a look of suspicion, however, she relented, "Well…okay…" She exited the room, shutting the door behind her.
Netherlands couldn't help it. He opened the laptop back up and resumed the video,
"Over the hills and far away,
Teletubbies come to play
Time for teletubbies,
time for teletubbies,"
The door flew open, "HA! I know you were -!...uhh…."
"DON'T LOOK!"
Fact: In 2010 there was a 60 mile long traffic jam in China that lasted 10 days.
Day 1
Dear diary, aru~
This traffic jam has been going on for hours! I hope it ends soon…
Day 2
Dear diary, aru~
This traffic jam has gone on for a full day! What could possibly be the problem!?
Day 5
Dear Diary, aru
No food…no water….I can't *cough cough* go on….. I don't think I'll be able to make it aru~ Tell my family that I love them…..oh, wait, never mind.
Day 7
Dear diary,
I found *cough* a packet of creamer in the middle of the road….and a few leaves….I don't know if I'll be able to find any decent food, aru. America once told me about a survivalist man on TV who drinks his own piss….but I don't want to do that, aru.
Day 9
OMFGWTF RUSSIA IS IN THE BACK SEAT!
Fact: In Bulgaria and Greece, a nod of the head means "no" and shaking one's head means "yes".
ARE YOU READY TO BREAK THE FOURTH WALL!?...kinda.
"Hello Greece! Hello Japan!" Bulgaria greeted the two nations happily.
"Oh, konnichiwa, Bulgaria-san," Japan said.
Greece said nothing. Japan continued, "Er, what is it that you wanted to talk about, Bulgaria-san? In your note you said that you wanted to ask us something."
Bulgaria looked uncomfortable, "Well….you see….I made a bet with Hungary…..and um…."
"Hai, what is it?" Japan asked.
"In the Lazy Comic Country strip of the webcomic….did you two really….you know, do it?" Bulgaria asked, nervously shifting his weight from foot to foot (not because the question was uncomfortable, because he was uncomfortable with breaking the fourth wall).
Japan blushed. He looked at Greece
Please say no, please say no, please say no. It was all a dream, right? That is all it was! A dream! Yeah, a dream!
Japan let out a sigh of relief as Greece shook his head.
Bulgaria looked surprised, "Oh! Really? I guess I was wrong then. Well, uh, bye…you guys."
Bulgaria walked off. Japan turned to Greece, "Bulgaria-san thought that we slept together? That is, uh, odd." He laughed nervously, "Heh, heh. Right….Greece?"
Greece gave him a confused look, but said nothing.
Later…
"Japan!" Hungary exclaimed, "I didn't know you had a boyfriend! Can I have some pictures for my yaoi collection?"
"I thought that - ! But – WHAT!?"
Fact: In France it is illegal to name a pig Napoleon.
"Okay, now I have to turn…left? Oui, left. And then-" France's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his cell phone ringing. He glanced at the caller ID while trying to keep his eyes on the road.
"Ack, why is Angleterre calling me?" He put it on speaker phone and set it down, trying to remember which road he had to take next. "What do you want, Britain!?"
Britain laughed, "Guess what, frog!? I bought a pet pig! Guess what its name is!?"
France clenched his fists around the steering wheel in anger, "You wouldn't dare- "
"NAPOLEON! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"HOW DARE YOU!" France shouted.
"I bought another pig before but it died, so I named in Jeanne d'Arc! HAHAHAHAHA!"
France turned to the skeleton sitting in the passenger seat, "It's alright, mon cher, don't take it personally."
Fact: This is a relatively well known fact, but hilarious nonetheless; US military interrogators have been known to use, among other songs, Metallica's Enter Sandman and the Barney theme song to get Iraqi prisoners to break.
"I love you, you love me~ -"
"ALRIGHT, I ADMIT IT, I PLANTED THE BOMB!"
Hmm…" America said, "This actually works pretty well. I wonder what would happen if I tried it on other people."
Later…
"Ha! Britain will never be able to put up with the Teletubbies theme song! He'll break within seconds!"
America entered to the room, smiling at the sight of the Brit. Struggling to get out of the ropes that tied him to the chair.
"America! What the bloody hell are you doing!? Let me go this instant!"
"No, I'm doing this as an experiment!"
America got onto his laptop, which was hooked up to some large speakers that were strategically placed right next to Britain's head, and started playing the wretched song.
"Over the hills and far away,
Teletubbies come to play
Time for teletubbies,
time for teletubbies"
Britain blushed, trying to prevent his lips from forming into a smile.
America smirked at the Brit, "And I'm not going to stop it until you…" he thought for a moment, "…admit that Sealand is a country!"
America was shocked when Britain started humming along with the song, "WHAT!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"I…kinda like this song…"
America stared at him, "….that's fucked up, dude."
Well, that's it for now, everyone! I'll try to get some more facts so that I can update quicker! Adios!
