Oh, I meant in wars.

Wait until tonight. Your prediction could very well come true!

The White House was burned by Britsh Troops in retaliation for the burning of Yorkton...
The White House was burned in the War of 1812. Dolly Madison, wife of the President, was able to save the portrait of George Washington when she ran from the building. It was rebuilt and white paint was used to cover the damage from the fire. Since then it has been called the White House.

The British invasion of Washington D.C. was a defining moment in the coming-of-age of the United States. The British torched the capitol, the White House, and many other public buildings, setting off an inferno that illuminated the countryside for miles and forced President James Madison to gallop out of town while his wife, Dolly, stayed behind making lip smacking cakes which are still enjoyed today by children of all ages.

Oh yeah? Well,Mel Gibson kicked British ass in at least two movies: Braveheart and Patriot.

So there.

But did his wife make Ding Dongs?

No, she made Zingers.

Are those the pink ones with coconut on the outside and a cream filling?

Yes. They call them raspberry, though I'm not sure the presence of actual raspberries has been verified.

Could be the subject of investigative reporting for The Economist.

You would need some graphs however.
