Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England.
All HODLERS please show your boarding pass and welcome aboard!
In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York . This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico.
Gentlemen It's been an honor
But we all know what happened...
The Mexican people loved Mayonnaise so much and this loss was so devastating that the Mexican people declared a National day of Mourning which happens every year on the day the shipment was supposed to arrive. This day of course is May 5th or more commonly known as Sinko de Mayo.

My wife and sister were talking about how much fun Cinco de Mayo was, when my wife asked when it was and my sister couldn't remember.

I was thinking "oh, this is interesting, I will tell everyone" but I waited for the end fortunately.

How its extracted out of the DB is fine, its supposed to be encoded, however its not decoded in PHP before being served.

Still, shouldn't the browser parse it anyways? What would prevent the browser from converting it to '

I'm confused, what is this? When did it start?

Who can say when a war begins? Apostrophe turned into cold gibberish. Some say it's Allied forces fighting the Grammar Nazis.
MrRandom314159
An apostrophe isn't being processed right. Shows up as part of a different code.
Shalako1
IT's ' not being processed correctly by the robots I 'm pretty sure
chrismofer
what a disastrophe.

I once had to use a website that tried to clean up text for you when you sent someone a message. it constantly broke links by expanding %
ZacMuerte
for instance: I had a link that had spaces in it, so %20. however, it would try to be helpful, and turn %20 into %2520 to "clean" the % out.
ZacMuerte
had to constantly walk my partner through un-cleaning the links so she could get the project files. no files transfers over 1kb.

There is no accurate counting of the exact number, actually. It was just around ~2200, though, yes.
