This is why the internet is great...

Well, 2nd only to pr0n but that goes without saying.

I was reading a review on Amazon on The Killer's album and noticed a member hailed from Georgetown, Guyana. But wait, I only know of two Georgetowns and they're in North America. I then Google/Wiki it.

Amazing how the internet has the ability to bring all the information you want at arms length.

Again, simply amazing.

Don't be a tool.

To the rest of you fools, it's nice to be humbled now and again. Don't ever take it for granted! I'm from a generation where we played handball and road hockey after school, not get home and play games and chat on IMs.

I didn't even know there were two Georgetowns... was this thread really necessary? Not trying to be mean, but c'mon guys, get a blog.

See there, someone has chosen to see the positive side of this posting. Sure it may seem mundane and trivial at face value but like I said, it's nice to be humbled by these afterthoughts from time to time.

You are correct but the incident is still colloquially reference to kool aid....

The term is derived from the 1978 cult suicide in Jonestown, Guyana. Jim Jones, the leader of the Peoples Temple, convinced his followers to move to Jonestown. Late in the year he ordered his followers to commit suicide by drinking grape-flavored Flavor Aid laced with potassium cyanide. In what is now commonly called the "Jonestown Massacre", a large majority of the 913 people later found dead drank the brew. (The discrepancy between the idiom and the actual occurrence is likely due to Flavor Aid's relative obscurity, compared to the easily recognizable Kool-Aid.) The precise expression can be attested in usage at least as early as 1987.[4]

The saying "Do not drink the Kool-Aid" now commonly refers to the Jonestown tragedy, meaning "Do not trust any group you find to be a little on the kooky side," or "Whatever they tell you, do not believe it too strongly."[5] Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly is famous for using the term in this manner.[6]

Having "drunk the Kool-Aid" also refers to being a strong or fervent believer in a particular philosophy or mission — wholeheartedly or blindly believing in its virtues.[7][8]

The Kool-Aid brand is an example of a genericized trademark — a brand name which has become the generic term for a type of product. Different brands of flavored drink powder, such as Flavor-Aid and store brand versions, are sometimes referred to as Kool-Aid, even if the consumer is aware that the product is not the actual Kool-Aid brand.
