Oct-20-05		EmperorAtahualpa: My god, there is even a GREENLAND open??

Nov-15-05		sleepkid: the amateur section was hotly contested by some sled dogs, two icebergs and a polar bear. (my apologies to all Inuits, I'm sure Greenland is a lovely country.) Did anyone know that Greenland was named such as a clever marketing ploy by a viking to get people to settle there? Angus Tinker: That's it for me! I'm off to Greenland! Pepperpot: Sounds lovely! (more apologies to the Inuits and the sled dogs.)
