but I don't know how I'd deal with US wooheads who interrupt the knowledgeable guide at ancient sites to rant about all the horseshit they saw on the Hysterical Channel about aliens creating all that stuff. I can imagine how utterly insulting the people whose ancestors built that stuff must find it.

I'd probably have to refrain from stuffing my socks down their throats to shut them up. I think they'd probably prefer that to what I'd have to say to them, though.

Odin, you forgot the other thing: the Russians invented everything. Oh, it's gotten better since the USSR broke up and faded into history, but I still run into it now and then.
