You mean that there actually was a person called Independence Day in that horrrible movie? I sat through that film together with "Twister" and "Demolition Man" on a long bus ride in Argentina. Unfortunately, the only actor I remember from this triplet is Sylvester Stallone, but he was in not in that film. > 10 In which Asian nation is the capital city, quite literally, the > City of Islam?
