The White House

[Banish]

Can anyone tell me why it is called that? Any other important aspects of The White House that I should know.

I have been wondering this for a long time.

Thanks in advance.

I have no idea. The house is white. I think that's enough. Y'know, long ago it was the President's House.

[Weeaboolits]

I say we paint it red, and then see what happens!

Razzle dazzle camoflage, maybe?

But in all seriousness, white house is as good a name as any really. ;]

Lol...the next thing you know they're be saying it should be called the Brown House.

The White House sounds like a boring name...the red house (Like Ronin suggested) would be much better.

[DizzyDi]

It symbolizes the white man's iron grip on America.
Seriously tho, this would be a perfect time to use http://www.GOOGLE.COM
This is the information superhighway afterall.

Took me like two minutes to find out the answer, but I won't post it, cause you need to look it up ya damn self.

Y'know, they should paint it lime green and lemon yellow and call it the Sprite House. It shows all that America stands for: Truth, Justice, and the way of big businesses corrupting our government.

You know, I was half expecting a "BECAUSE ALIENS CAME AND BLEW UP THE WORLD" or a "because he liked to get into people's pants" in the middle of that article. It is wikipedia, after all.

[Weeaboolits]

You know, I haven't seen anything like that on wiki yet. :/

Nah, articles like this are religiously watched and protected.

[DikkyRay]

i'm thinking of just screwing my wiki account by totally fucking up a random article
But i dunno if that will just ban my account or ban my isp. I actually use wiki so.......
no idea why the fuck i made a wiki account. Made it like.......4 months ago maybe? I think i was helping out with a game article or something and wanted the name to be acknowledged

There is a common misconception that the term "The White House" wasn't used until after the War of 1812, when the mansion was burned and re-painted.


Gee, wonder who did that? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif


*cough*canada*cough*

[Weeaboolits]

I have one too, but I'ven't contributed at all. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[DurakkenX]

cmon they have to keep it simple for politicians haven't you noticed?
white house
green room
oval office
we're working with the presumption that people will vote for someone at least smart enough to figure these out.

[Uncle_bob]

Jesus. Wow. I think I need to go rest for a bit now.

Wow. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

I once came across the Fluoride article with a paranoid blurp about how President Bush is putting Fluoride in all our water to make us weaker, and therefore easier to control. All in caps, too.

[Weeaboolits]

I generally only use wiki to look up info on manga and anime series, or reliable image hotlinking. ;]

*raises Canadian flag*

[UnderscoreX]

They have fire in Canada ?

[DizzyDi]

I'd think fire would be dangerous in Canada, what with all the houses being igloos and all.

[Weeaboolits]

I went to Canada once, there were french fries at Taco Bell, also vinegar packets.
