I'm just surprised there were no gay references in that thread yet.

 

I watched some of "The Catch" game on NFL Network last week...couldn't finish watching it all, of course. :mad: Never had I seen that many 80's homos in one place in my life when they scanned the crowd. Pron star mustaches were VERY popular back in 82. The only people that had wimmin with them were the Cowboys fans in the crowd. :wacko:

No one invades Switzerland because it has a history of neutrality, it does not have significant natural resources and it is a worldwide banking center.

 

This. I'd add that it has zero geographical strategic significance too.

And Hitler didn't invade Switzerland for 2 reasons: The Swiss had all the money, and getting into Switzerland with ground troops would have been impossible based on the Swiss Army's entrenchment in and knowledge of the Swiss mountains.

See above for reason 3. Total waste of time and effort.

nope--it is one of the major trade routes from the Mediterranean to northwest Europe. However, the Swiss (probably out of self-preservation) let the Axis use the train lines through the Gotthard Tunnel during WWII.
