USA's flag is known as 'The Star Spangled Banner'

The Statue of Liberty is actually French-made. The government of USA was actually confused what to do with it.

The USA changes its time at specified intervals in a year.

More when I remember some more..........

was just browsing through the forums and came across this thread...some cool facts indeed. I always thought the Statue of Liberty was built by Americans, but now I know that the French built it. Anyway, I was always poor in General knowledge, but then I feel enlightened !!

Thanks again...wink_smile
