I've been to Tassie and I'd love to go again! I had some beautiful, fresh oysters and salmon in Hobart, along with some sardines and marrowbone.. oh, hang on.. wink

I think if you turn a map of Australia upside down it looks like a Pomeranian.

Those are really funny. But I think the Ukraine looks like a chicken running towards the left rather than a mule.

Thanks, Tizz.

So it does, sallyOMalley (really love that name), and also a little like a bantam hen.

Now I'm going to upend the world and see what the other countries look like.

I don't like standing on my head. It's undignified

Re: "I was hoping they had finally seceded, but no such luck"

Lol, Nautilator. I wonder if they'll ever build a bridge between there and Russia - physically and metaphorically. You can see Russia from there?

Oh no you couldn't. I just looked it up. The closest point is 82 miles. That'd be some bridge.

Apparently, for some, foreign policy experience is based on that premise.

Maybe some sort of easy travel from the USA to Russia could be developed? Oo, oo, how about a tunnel going under the Bering Strait? We could call it the Strunnel. That way someone from New England could drive all the way to Old England.

That's hilarious - and an excellent idea to boot.

One from Australia to Asia would complete the job. It could be called AA.

Oh wait, that's already been taken...hic

Combine the Strunnel with the AA and the Trans-America Highway and you've have the Pacific Ring of Tyre!
