D i l d o Newfoundland is a real place.

Town…. not really. They were some ten miles from the next food depot, and they knew where it was, but just couldn’t make it. There are no real towns on Antarctica even today, and there were certainly no permanent settlements either back then.

Let’s see how another famous -home made- parachute worked?

Darwinism at work.
What an idiot.

Looking forward to seeing Peking China, in ruins after the next great war.

I just hit the link and this site has “lost” $2000 of it’s value. LT I’d say your trivial comment is more than apt. I have to go outside now to see if the sky is falling.

Mussolini made the trains run on time. The rest of that made no sence… sorry.

It will be even messier if Turkey is part of the EU when this takes place.  However I think this should resolve itself before that happens as it doesn’t look like the EU is letting Turkey join anytime soon.

It isn’t certain what will happen with regards to greater Kurdistan (Kurdish areas in Iraq, Turkey, Iran), although it could certainly get ugly there.

Any Kurds in Syria?  I’m not sure, and if so what that would imply as well.

Nevertheless, this goes back a long ways to when the British occupied Iraq (taken from the Ottoman Empire in WWI if I am not mistaken).  It is always a difficult thing to go back to the pre-colonial (and pre Ottoman empire) nations and boundaries as often they were not clearly marked or identifiable.  Besides, there is oil in N. Iraq…and everyone wants a peice of that!
