You may be too young to remember but during the cold war we had a countdown to midnight - the metaphor for when the world would end in nuclear destruction.  It was a powerful device to advocate for change.  No sane person would suggest that it was meaningless because the world wasnt actually destroyed.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists still has it; and it's five minutes to midnight!

(Alas it hasn't been 2 minutes to midnight since the 50s)
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

That's a vowel. No wonder the Brain is mad.

'Cause he's jealous of Ed's vowel movements?

To say that FUll Metal Jacket was set in South Carolina seems like a deliberate falsehood.  I mean, sure, the most memorable part of that movie was set there, but the bulk of the movie was set in Vietnam...
