"Do you know why firetrucks are red? Well, firetrucks have four wheels, and eight people on firetruck. 4+8=12. There are 12 inches in a ruler. Queen Elizabeth was a ruler. There was also a ship named after queen Elizabeth. The ship sailed the seas, and the seas have fish. Fish have fins. People from Finland are also called Finns. Finland and Russia were in a war a long time ago. Russians are red. and firetrucks are always Russian around."
pretty much the logic used in the National Treasure movies
