re: #78 thedopefishlives

Similar to Benedict Arnold, who, while infamous in the United States and probably at least known in Great Britain and Canada, would probably receive a baffled look from anywhere else in the world.

Several years ago, when I visited London, when we were briefly stopped at an intersection we saw one of those blue plaques that are _everywhere in our London to our right, “Here lived Benedict Arnold, American Patriot.” I was a bit taken aback, and my fourth grade history would have had died of apoplexy if she had seen that.

Unfortunately, there were too many cars passing to take a good shot of it.
