I heard that that was exactly what our government wanted our people to think so when Japan got news that their balloons were successful then they would have started sending them with nukes. I heard they stopped sending them because they assumed they weren't making it over here since the US was keeping it hush hush. I heard this from a co-worker who's from Hawaii. I suppose he could be making it up, though I wouldn't know why...

The Japanese never had nukes......and still don't. I have a feeling he is pulling your tit...

Yeah, there was a special on it. You can still find them all over the west coast, Alaska, Mountains in Canada. People are finding them all the time as city borders expand. I don't think any were ever reported as actually going off during actual war time (civies have set them off after-wards); they are considered dangerous though since they are still armed.

Education system rears it's rather ineffective head yet again. You have this totally wrong. Hitler killed lots of juice, which is liquified fruits and/or vegetables. Kids these days!

Upon closer inspection, Tip, You're 15 years old according to your profile.

Checkoslovakia split on Jan 1st 1993, so if we do the math... 2010 - 1993 = 17 years ago.

The country hasn't existed in your lifetime, which makes this even stranger.

Having been to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia recently, I can assure you they are separate countries.
Also, they both hate Russians and Germans, but they like Americans. We drove through both (and Poland, Hungary, and Ukrainia)over the course of a week and it was a really great trip. I highly recommend both to anyone headed to Eastern Europe anytime soon. I just wish they did not use so many numbers as if they were letters.
