Just listened to the Minnesota accent on YouTube and it's nothing much like our accent. Not that any Irish accent is anyway similar to any American accent.

 

I got somewhere in Ireland when I took the IRL/GBR version. Makes sense since I’m 50% Irish by ancestry. I’ll take that one again and tell you my result.

I hate that I only think of life’s hardest questions from 20:00-0:00. Those aren’t the best times for writing down thought. I had some damn good ones today too. I should be better at this skill since I’m a writer :facepalm:.

The artist who selflessly donates their own pictograms to Wikipedia for use and allows others to use them as well really deserves some praise. The dude has made pictograms for over 200 sports. I choose some of more and unusual ones to show below. A few them are also just ones I really like.
