To the rest of the world outside of the Americas, Americans is used to describe US citizens because We're the only country in the Americas with America in our name.
Trenny, can you see this?

The problem that they are discussing are calling USA as if it was the whole America, and not exactly the use of the word American.
Like, lots of Americans logically thing that, since they are american, they live in America, thus calling USA, only America.
Just thought of clarifying this thing here, before this have to go to the taboos thread.

-Because it says 'Adam' on his nametag. He was the first person this week to try walking through the desert.
-Because they killed him a few minutes ago. He was the first man to have been killed by them a few minutes ago!
-Because it was scientifically recorded that Adam was the first man to somehow have his body preserved by sand! When it wasn't even buried, no less!
-Because that's just how things are in this twisted world, where people feel the need to explore deserts, of all things!
-Because... you aren't going to accept
any of these answers despite filling every criteria, are you? Yeah, I really hate these kind of 'riddles'.

Hey, a riddles a riddle. If you want to make an "Ask Plasma" thread, I'll gladly not post any of them there.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch.
EDIT:
ALSO, this is not a question on belief. In this riddle, there's "actual proof" that states this man was Adam. Lighten up on the belief system for once.

Plasma, do you always whine about things that take a second of thought to figure out? The answer is simple, if you just think about it. It's straightforward.

Is it because he has a fig leaf instead of privates like all images of Adam do?

Aside from the Sistine Chapel, I hadn't really given that a second thought.

Ya know, if you all want that much to guess riddles, you should make a thread about it and not try to answer it on the Ask Trennicus thread.
