It was Arkansas for me yesterday morning, too. Now it shows the 8000 m peaks. I guess the date shown references the local computer's time.

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if the new pope uses boludo once in a while. As you know it's a major cultural reference and once it gets in your lexicon it's like a virus. Nothing like it in English, except bollocks, but not quite. Seems like huevon is a major insult over there? I think your royal family has been getting that a lot!

No, huevón is neither used here:
