Now I'm real afraid of Vikings and Hobbits. It's too dangerous to travel anywhere these days.

It must be the hairy toes... The map is off just a skootch, I actually live in a conquistador colony with bad porn and tequilla. Right next to the NEW Mexico border, where many Americans think you can't drink the water and need a passport, along with vaccines. I'm waiting for one of the presidential candidates to suggest we put a fence up between Colorado and New Mexico to keep them launderers and mowers out.

Alpinord, your reply put a big grin on my face, then the map made me laugh and finally Skidude's comment made that laughter much louder.
Apparently, this is our view of the world :

Most Americans would say: "Rooney who?"
...or "Andy Rooney's king of England?"

For the SF one, I laughed at the "temporary" label for Antarctica. Funny stuff.
