I will admit the question was not specific enough, the 13 colonies were the ones that rebelled against England. There were other British colonies ( in north America ) that did not rebel.
It takes a real man to admit to his errors.

Judging by what I see at some parks, I'm guessing poop.

Geese need to poop every 20 minutes. They drop a turd about the size of a large chicken egg and the consistency of a very soft boiled egg. There was a case of Canada geese migrating down to a Washington DC park where hundreds congregated around a pond and started dropping 50-75 of these "eggs" each day per bird. The shores of this pond was so greasy with poop that a man walking along the shore slipped and slid in and drowned.

True. Blackpool Tower.

At the time when the Eiffel tower was built in the later half of the 1800s, there was a strong Angle/French rivalry. When the Eiffel tower was built the Brits wanted to outdo the french. There were several attemps to build a tower more spectacular than the Eiffel tower. None of the later towers came close to the reputation of the one in Paris.

The tower is also painted a lighter shade at the bottom and a darker shade near the top to counteract the effect of atmospheric perspective.

If it was not painted two shades of green it would lokk like it had been

Elvis Presley's hair was naturally a dirty blond color. He first dyed it in 1957 hoping to emulate his Hollywood idol, actor Tony Curtis.

Very true. Unfortunately, there are a few more 'errors' that he refuses to admit on this thread. A real man would've owned up to them all and moved on.

The story I heard was that there was bartender in Chicago named Mickey Finn. He would drug some peoples drinks so that his accomplices could rob them. Don't know if this true.

In December 1903, several Chicago newspapers document that a Michael "Mickey" Finn managed the Lone Star Saloon and was accused of using knockout drops to incapacitate and rob some of his customers. Putting drugs in a persons drink later becam known as slipping someone a Mickey.

In 1965, Johnny’s truck caught fire due to an overheated wheel bearing, which triggered the forest fire in Los Padres National Forest in California.

When a judge asked him why he did it, he said “I didn’t do it, my truck did, and it’s dead, so you can’t question it.” When the damage was accounted for, Cash was pressed with all of it, especially the killing of the condors, but he was unrepentant in refusing blame, saying “I don’t care about your damn yellow buzzards.”

Cash was sued by the government for what would be $900,000 today, but settled for closer to $642,000 in today’s values.
