Jason Kottke. The competition, in case you haven't been following, was to prove whether Aylesbury was once part of the London tube system. A subject of much debate in English pubs. When those damned Euroweenies aren't busy firebombing synagogues, ridiculing the obesity of upright Americans, or applying their fancy-pants pseudo-Marxist ivory-tower lit-crit to George's latest misspeech, of course.
   The answer is yes, Aylesbury, which is deep in Buckinghamshire, was once part of the London Underground. Jason's wins a fiver. And, once again, Americans take the honors in a game that was once Britain's. To rub it in, Kottke, who never even saw a subway, growing up in the cheese state, or wherever, shows he knows all about disused tube stations too. And now do you understand why you are so hated?
