This is becoming a fun rabbit hole....the alphabet has been rearranged a few times. "A" came from a Phoenician symbol that originally represented an ox's head. "B" came from a symbol meaning "house." The names Alpha and Beta evolved from Aleph and Beth. ...
I was out today minding my own business at a restaurant when I over heard someone at a table near me say this "The United States is the oldest country in the world." I was thinking...It can't be. At least the "United Kingdom" was around before we came to the new world.
Yeah, I remember the Acquaintances episode and Yakko ask 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego staying?' There was Carmen alright passing by but her face well...look at Animaniacs Wiki Fandom and see for yourself, Lucy.
