There are 33 known galaxies closer to the milky way than Andromeda, and more will doubtless be discovered. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_galaxies

This is as bad as finding out there are only four great lakes, everything I learned in middle school was a lie.

Hydrologically, Michigan and Huron are the same (same elevation; connection between them is "open" and free-flowing in both directions), so they're sometimes considered a single body of water. Even so, that body is called Michigan-Huron, so you still need to memorize 5 names!

Good to know. However, it is the nearest spiral galaxy so I changed it to that.

Er, actually I think the person who told you there are only 4 great lakes is the one who was lying to you.

I'm chuffed as nuts you used the Garfield clue - that's how I even learned that Abu Dhabi existed way back when, and wondered how many others remembered that. Kudos!

I had no idea what the clue was referring to, but picked up on "emirate" and figured it must be Abu Dhabi.

Axum instead of Abyssinia? I definitely remember learning about a place called Axum that became present-day Ethiopia.

Part of the former Kingdom of Axum is included in present-day Ethiopia, but if memory serves correctly it didn't cover the entire area now included in the modern nation.

Axum is just a city (in Ethiopia) but the Axumite Empire covered a pretty big area and lasted a very long time. Neither it nor the ancient kingdom of Abyssinia have borders exactly the same as modern-day Ethiopia, though.

I'm pretty sure Abyssinia is what Ethiopia was called during Italy's invasion of it in 1935. It was pretty much exactly what constitutes the Ethiopian nation today, it had to be.
This is because Italy already controlled modern day Eritrea, modern day Somalia was jointly controlled by the UK and Italy, Kenya and Sudan were controlled by the UK, and even Djibouti was controlled by the French. Not much room left for border mutations.

I thought of the MASH episode when Henry gets killed. He frequently said, "Abyssinia," for goodbye, and the title of his last episode was, "Abyssinia, Henry."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Ethiopia also known as Aksum at one point? I think it should also be accepted, along with Abyssinia
