The unlikely headline game

Strictly spoken there is a border with Russia but it is not on land. Still the distance between Russian and American territory is narrower than twice the extension of territorial waters, so it is a true border legally.
As for the first question, the number of US citizens not knowing with how many countries the US have a land border is shockingly high. According to some studies more than 10%* of US residents (babies not included as far as I know) cannot find the US on a globe or a world map (textfree).

*somewhere between one in five or one in seven.

In my experience the British copper should never be given any weapon at all.  As night follows day, he will misuse it.

They do, don't they. Must be to do with the training.

Not a headline, but the BBC making a strange assertion.

"[Princess] Diana was pregnant with Prince William very very quickly, as was Princess Margaret."

Some sort of quantum pregnancy?
