Live and learn

So, I've apparently been wrong all this time in supposing that the Vatican was the world's smallest nation. Apparently, that honour goes to the so-called Principality of Sealand, which is a man-made off-shore installation off the coast of Suffolk, England - and which is, apparently, up for - not sale, because you can't sell countries, apparently - up for transfer, if anyone is interested in owning their very own country - and have the money to spare. Or you could just by yourself the title of a lady or baron or something. I don't know. They do have some pretty stamps, though...

I can't decide whether this or the fact that a floor has come ashore over on the west coast takes the prize for oddest thing I've heard today...

...That sounds kinda cool. Too bad all us Sparrington shippers can't get together and chip in to buy it. Can you imagine a land where the slash and pie flow free, and the best Mardi Gras float comes equipped with ice cream for all?

Ok, now I'm just being silly. Though, that really would be pretty cool.

Silly is good. Though I'm not quite sure if there would even be room for one Mardi Gras float, let alone the additional ice cream. Well, unless it's person-shaped and goes by the name of Jack, of course.

Still, personally I kind of like the name. Sea-land. That's kind of nice.
