    A geography thread?! Now were talking my language.

    Off the coast of Brazil theres a place called Ilha de Queimada Grande, but it's commonly known as snake Island. visit to Ilha de Queimada Grande is banned by the Brazilian navy because of it's inhabitants, a type of extremely venomous viper that only exists on the island. The island sits on the path for migratory birds and is home to the largest snake concentration in the world, somewhere between one and five every meter!

    The four main language groups in the Middle East are Arabic, Hebrew, Persian and Turkish. Other significant language groups are Kurdish and Berber. Arabs are largest in terms of population and land holdings,

    A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
    And no one can talk to a horse of course
    That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed.

    Go right to the source and ask the horse
    He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse.
    He's always on a steady course.
    Talk to Mister Ed.

    People yakkity-yak the street and waste your time of day
    But Mr. Ed will never speak unless he has something to say

    A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
    And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse.
    You never heard of a talking horse?

    in the US interstate highway system, every 1 out of 5 miles must be straight to use as a possible landing strip during wartime or an emergency situation.

    The highway system is also designed so military vehicles can handle the turns can at high speeds so troops and supplys can be moved in case of invasion...


    This same highway system has for the most part been deteriorating for the last 40 years and can probably not handle this type of movement anymore...

    Oops :rolleyes:

    If you look at the interstate highways on a map the odd numbered ones run North and South and the even numbered ones run East and West.
