Actually, only the section of the state where I live, just west of Philadelphia, called the “Main Line” today, was originally “New Wales.” The area just south of Philadelphia was originally “New Sweden.” And there's a section that's still called “Germantown.”

There's only one named for a person.

Nihil obstat®.

ear: "boyfriend" anything means "looks like you borrowed this from your boyfriend". But no woman with hips & a waist could really wear their boyfriend's jeans.

Not as long as the APs have something to do with that.

not necessarily, yes we saw her, but we did not specifically see her with Chris saying that, he was obviously talking to someone else. Of course it could be just a fake promo to get us talking about finally seeing a $1 million question; the show only did one other fake that I can remember, but they are usually good at spoiling their own show.
