What makes me laugh today

Hey everybody it's Cinco de Mayo! Time to stuff yourself full of your favorite Mexican food and drink. Why? Mexican independence of course, but independence from who? Just start asking people if you don't know. People will be happy to tell you, the Spanish right? What's cracking me up today is that most people, even most proud Mexican-Americans will tell you it was the Spanish. The truth, it's actually not Mexican Independence day at all that's actually September 16th. Cinco de Mayo commemorates the victory of the Mexican Militia at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. More truth, it wasn't a victory over the Spanish, but the French.
