My parents lived out in the middle of nowhere, and had no internet or even TV. I asked my parents what they did when they were bored, and they didn't know. My 26 brothers and sisters didn't know either.

I paint miniatures, play video games, read, and write.

And LOL! I noticed this question, while googling for a link about German training of the Chinese army: "Why did China join World War II?" I would reply "We didn't! WW2 joined us!"

Mostly about Japan using the war as an opportunity to make territorial claims (and commit some atrocities) in China, right?  On the theory that everybody else was too busy with the Germans/Austrians/Italians/&co in Europe to bother with trying to stop them?  China could have fought on its own or as part of an alliance. Aaaand, that looks like a pretty clear choice to me.  So no, I don't wonder why China got into WWII.

Australia's motives are the ones that seem a bit less clear; Japan wasn't significantly encroaching on them or at least not that I know of, and while there were cultural ties to allied Europe, there was also festering resentment.  I wouldn't have guessed the diplomatic relationships would really be as solid as "going to war for the benefit of others."

Fun fact: most birds are constantly in a squatting position due to the nearly permanent placement of their thighs, and they walk or hop by moving their knees and ankles instead of their hips.

So yes, penguins do have knees. Avian dinosaurs are just weird.
