What does the bird on the mexican flag symbolize?
There's a story about that.
The Aztecs (or "Mexicas", in the Aztec language) came from the North of what is Mexico, they were nomadic, and when trying to find which place to settle in, the God of War Huitzilopochtli appeared to them in a dream/vision and told them to settle in a place where they would find an eagle eating a snake on top of a nopal (similar to a cactus).
They travelled and travelled looking for this sign. Eventually, they found it in what would now become Mexico City. That symbol was then later put in the flag.

What do the colors in sin city represent?
I believe that red represents power. Bruce Willis at the beginning does not bleed red as at that time he is dying and not in any powerful position. Although later when he is protecting Jessica Alba (Nancy) he bleeds red, he is powerful. Also (Marv) bleeds red constantly as he is always in a position of power. When (Lucielle) is in (Kevin's) basement she is not red, although when she knocks out (Marv) and tries to turn him over to the police she is red. (Kevin) bleeds red as he is powerful in the fact he is fast and quiet a "natural born killer" When (Mio) kills (Iron Jack) his blood is not red on him but when it splashes onto her face it IS red, aka she is powerfull. Some of the police bleed red as there is power in numbers. The girls with red lips and dresses (Golidie) and the woman at the beginning are red because they have power over men with their sexual appeal.
The colour blue represents corruption, (Mio's) shirt is blue as she kills a police man, Alexis Bledel's eyes a blue as she turns on her friends and puts them in danger.
The colour gold means danger, it is the colour of the fire, the evil dangerous man's eye, the colour of the peophile etc
The colour green is that of envy. or the "green eyed monster"

Which flag should be larger the Texas flag or the American flag?
According to the US Flag Code, the US Flag should be larger in size and (if flying on the same pole), at the top of the pole. If flying the American flag with a state flag, the American flag needs to be on a taller pole than the state flag and displayed on the flag's right side. If flying them on poles of equal size, then flying the American flag on the flag's right side is correct.
The Union Jack.
On 12 April 1606, a new flag to represent this regal union between England and Scotland was specified in a royal decree, according to which the flag of England (also representing Wales by implication), (a red cross with a white background, known as St. George's Cross), and the flag of Scotland (a white saltire with a blue background, known as the Saltire or St. Andrew's Cross), would be "joined together according to the forme made by our heralds, and sent by Us to our Admerall to be published to our Subjects."[3] forming the flag of Great Britain and first union flag.

What is the history of the 'pennant'?
My recollection of a book I read once and found hysterical is that this tradition goes way, way back, to baseball in the 1880s. In a old, old book by a man named Richter called "History and Record of Base Ball" I distinctly remember reading that in the rules drawn up by one of the old baseball leagues, (it may have been the National Association of Base Ball Clubs) one of the decrees suggested something to the effect that part of the moneys collected by the league would go towards the purchasing of a championship "streamer", which was to be given to the club that won the championship and flown outside their home field for the next season. Whether or not this is the first record of a flag/pennant/streamer being used as an award for the best team, I'm not sure. It is a tough book to find but certainly a great one if you are interested in the game's history.
