In Fact

  • When Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, his army used more horses, and more horses per soldier, than did Napoleon's over 100 years earlier. [Prospect, p17] Caballo que no alcanza...
  • Neither the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal or the Washington Post has an Australian correspondent. [Down Under by Bill Bryson] Bien por Notimex.
  • Donald Rumsfeld, who served in both the Nixon and George W. Bush cabinets, is the youngest and the oldest defence secretary in US history. [BBC News Online, 28th December 2006] Y quién dice que sólo a los gringos les interesan las estadísticas irrelevantes...
  • 35 per cent of Turks say they believe their country is "governed according to the will of the people," more than Britain (30 per cent), France (26) or Germany (18). [Voice of the People survey] El otro 65% está en Alemania.
  • Only 0.4 per cent of households in Lagos have a toilet connected to a sewage system. [New Yorker, 13th November 2006] Pero muy bien conectados a los oleoductos.
