Of course them crafty Japanese may have just kept Guam anchored all these years just to fool us.

Ya never can tell about them Japanese. They are insidious that way.

Maybe the whole idea was for us to believe that Guam was a solid island just waiting for the day when "too" many marines get deployed. All the Japanese would have to do is pull the string and <flip>!

And maybe this congresscritter is the only one who knows this?


no, I can't back that up.

Five dollars says this guy's map of the Pacific only goes as far as Hawaii, and after that it's just a big blank space with Here Be Dragons scrawled across it.

The Representative claims that he has visited Guam before. I think that someone needs to explain that when he experienced Guam tilting it was probably more to do with what he had to drink than any population density.

What a maroon!

Did you know that this man suffers from severe health problems from hepatitus B and is as they say 'prone to wandering'.

I like how they describe his statement: 'Made a tippy motion with his hand, and said sternly...'

I wonder how hard everyone else facepalmed afterwards...

I've been to Guam too, and I know for a fact it can tip over! That's why they keep a submarine base there, so they can park the subs underneath whichever part looks low; at least until they can shift the people there to the other side.




What?




It's the second?




Never mind.
