While on the topic of trivia, one must wonder how many know the derivation of the word 'Malvinas.'
Well, translated into aircrew-speak, it means "$hithole at the bottom of the world"...

The first questions I would have for any Argentinian firebrand banging on about ownership of the Islas would be "Have you any idea what an utterly wretched place it actually is - are you really, really sure you want it?"
