Now, if it was Baffin Island, you'd have a point, but you get some decent summers in Maine.

10. When Jews stereotype their fellow Jews,

we all suffer, D.

Not that we don't sorta like to suffer now and again, but this is hardly the sort of thing that's ever going to justify a holiday anwhere down the road.

Explains a lot, no? :D

[asthmaticeog]

12. Would the breakup then signify

the rebuilding of the temple? :shrug:

[Magrittes Pipe]

13. Yes.

Look for Elijah to come this year. The seven seals are about to be opened.

[asthmaticeog]

6. Bad investment

It'll be under water in 10-50 years.

On edit:
Besides, unless it's in international waters, you can't declare sovereignty.

Second edit:
You want something at least 20-50 feet above sea level.

[peekaloo]

[dolo amber]

14. No, No, No.

Castle Island in Ireland. Comes with its own castle ruins -- your money back if it's not haunted (not really, but that would be cool!).
