Suppose halfway across the Pacific (500 miles from the nearest territory of anyone else) a new island popped up.Who does that island belong to? I come up with these meaningless nuggets from time to time. Not sure where I get them from as they are of no importance really but, it's fun to figure out.

That is what 5 or 6 of us here figured but, it would be interesting to see the debate on whom all figured it was theirs and why.

Someone would probably claim it as their homeland and start a war with the one that planted their flag on it. - LOL -This message has been edited by Kat Daddy on 03-26-2003 at 10:49 PM
