One More Thing We Can't Agree On

The phrase “Aluminum condominium” isn’t funny in the US, but it is in England


See, it's funny because in England (and a few other places Jeremy won't be looking up) Aluminum is spelled and pronounced with another 'i' before the final 'u.'  


For more information on Aluminum (or Aluminium), please watch This Video, which features not only a history of the metal, and both spellings of the element (watch when the camera zooms in on the periodic table) but also a guy with one of the most amazing haircuts you'll ever see.   

Anyway...there's really not much of a joke here.  It relies upon the simple premise that if you pronounce the metal with the second 'i' and say Aluminium Condominium, it rhymes and is therefore silly.  Enjoy that for today.  

Also enjoy This Video of people casting a fire ant colony in aluminum.  It really is quite impressive.
