OK here are the two "futures"

1. Samantha Bee IV reports that the debt ceiling is not raised and America declares bankruptcy. Corporations take over and turn it into a "fully privatized Capitalist Utopia." The air "stings a little but the free market will take care of that" with the background being smokestacks and cooling towers, with cloud/smog cover and thunderstorms with a red tint.

2. Aasif Mandvi junior junior junior reports that the debt ceiling is raised and taxes are increased but China tries to collect on the debt and the USA loses a nuclear war against China and now they live under the rule of (Chinese) Chairman Bo-Bo. The background is a free viewscreen given out to everyone while the real background looks the same as the Capitalist background, only radioactive blue.

Most likely scenario: China does not call in debt, as only taking in the interest is a better source of long-term income.

Aliens invade with giant space lasers. Everything has a green tint.

I thought Glenn Beck's show got cancelled.

I subscribed to his TV network. And no it was never canceled, just changed networks.

I've never actually watched Glenn Beck.

Where's Glenn Beck Now? :|

[astronelson 339]

6698.

I haven't seen him since the last time Jon Stewart mentioned him on The Daily Show before the videos were blocked in Australia.

He probably lives in one of those houses in the mountains.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

6701

Alabama has mountains? Or just foothills?

[Larks2242 251]

6702.

He is in his studio in NY, well home now since it is 2:49 AM there.

[Duke87 1,070]

IHOP!

[astronelson 339]

6704.

I prefer walking for pedestrian travel, personally.

[Larks2242 251]

6705.

That was a bit random.

[Duke87 1,070]

Yeah, well I was at IHOP in Cleveland, Tennessee this morning. Now I'm at Sheetz in... some town in Virginia. Exit 222 off I-81.-

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

6707

Isn't Cleveland, TN on I-75?

[Larks2242 251]

6708.

I think it is funny there is a Cleveland in TN, Cinci too?

[Duke87 1,070]

(6709)

NMU: Yes, it is. The I-81 part was in reference to Sheetz, not IHOP.

Larks: dunno about Cinci, but there is a Dayton in the same vicinity.

[astronelson 339]

Google Maps says no to Cincinnati, Virginia, if that's what you're asking.

There's a Texas in Queensland.

[Larks2242 251]

6711.

They really must have ran out of names.

[RipRap 4,400]

6712

There are other places that have wacky names

[Ceafus 88 1,794]

6713

1 number closer too 10,000.

[Duke87 1,070]

"Cleveland" is a last name (we had a president with it as his last name). The existence of Cleveland in both Tennessee and Ohio is probably a coincidence.

Although, a lot of names repeat because they share a common origin. There are an awful lot of cities, towns, and counties named "Washington" or "Lincoln", and almost without exception they're named after the same two people. Then there are the overseas names. There are several states with towns called "Bristol", "Manchester", "Greenwich", etc. because they're all borrowed from the originals in England.

6715

Perth WA Aus, Perth Tas Aus, Perth Ontario Canada, Perth Indiana US, Perth New York US, Perth North Dakota US are all named after Perth Scotland UK

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

6716

My hometown (Toledo, OH) was named after the Spanish city because the founder thought it sounded cool.

I believe you, Duke. I've been that way a few times before.

[Larks2242 251]

Funny how they are so close too each other.
