[00:08] <slangasek> relocating to Uruguay?  who does *that* :)
[00:11] <infinity> slangasek: People who live in Brasil, apparently.
[00:11] <slangasek> infinity: people who live in Brazil and have a grudge against Argentina, maybe?
[00:11] <slangasek> I mean, c'mon, Uruguay only exists because the two of them needed a buffer state ;)
[00:12] <infinity> All I know about Argentina is that they have a booming beef industry.  I know nothing of their politics. :P
[00:15] <infinity> "Uruguay won its independence between 1811 and 1828, following a four-way struggle amongst Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Brazil."
[00:15] <infinity> That's enough to sell me on them.
[00:15] <slangasek> "won" its independence
[00:15] <infinity> Takes some serious fortitude to flip the bird to four nations at the same time.
[00:15] <slangasek> ;)
[00:16] <slangasek> that's historical revisionism
[00:16] <slangasek> Uruguay was created by fiat by a treaty between the powers that were struggling over the territory ;)
[00:16] <infinity> Ahh, yes, the article goes into more depth later. :P
[00:17] <infinity> Either way, they appear to have some very impressive moustaches in their history.
[00:17] <infinity> So, that's something.
[00:17] <slangasek> gaucho + moustache -> gaustache
