Some are really pretty. Can't think of their names.

A bridge of diamonds! It'd be robbed.

That'd be huge diamonds to try to steal. Wouldn't ppl notice diamonds being taken?

Probably, but it's named after a way older Cartier. Jacques Cartier was an early explorer. He was the first one to travel inland in North America, he mapped the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the shores of the St. Lawrence River, and he claimed Canada for France.

Here, have some pre-confederation history.

Go Jacques Cartier! Boy's got skills

I like learning about this history since school doesn't teach it.

**BehrItAll** · 03-06-2011, 07:54 PM

Jacques is a fun name to say.

**LilMouse** · 03-06-2011, 09:34 PM

All French names are fun to say cause the accent is fun.

History is so much fun in my opinion, and I truly believe that those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.

It's like what BSG said, "All of this has happened before and all of it will happen again."

Everyone knows about WWII yet genocide still happens.

Lost in Translation · 03-07-2011, 01:21 PM

True.

**LilMouse** · 03-07-2011, 01:32 PM

I think we're just doomed to repeat the past until we all kill each other. Morbid, I know.

A little.

Lets talk about something happy.

According to ABC news, the happiest person in the US lives in Hawaii. So we should move to Hawaii.

I'd love to. Warm and beautiful. I'd be happy there.

They'd know we're from NY b/c they're calm and we're fast.
