Around Azeroth: Ninety miles from our shores
Beta tester Mofo has noticed an unfortunate situation unfolding in Durotar. With the Echo Isles reclaimed by the trolls, the Horde now has a headquarters directly across from an Alliance military stronghold. "De Alliance tink dey can set up a base right across from our Echo Isles, mon?" writes Mojo. "We will teach dem some humility." And now a quiz from your history teacher! What country is being referred to in the title to this article? And for bonus points, what politician coined the phrase in a 1960 speech?

Yeah, without looking, Cuba, and Kennedy...who dealt with the Cuban Missile Crisis. Still though I don't think downrating the OP THAT much is really necessary...

Mofo or Mojo? which is it?
pancakes Nov 1st 2010 10:13AM
Perhaps Mojo is a mean-ass mofo?

Yes, it was the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1960, the quote is said by John F. Kennedy. Nixon had nothing to do with it.
Ael Nov 1st 2010 10:35AM
It wasn't the cuban missile crisis in 1960. (JFK wasn't president yet in 1960). It Senator J.F. Kennedy at a Democratic Party dinner.

Hm. The boats and the structures on the islands are reflecting off the water but the trees are not. Weird.
Oh and JFK was the politician mentioned in the post and Cuba is the country.
