Wow, that must be a real satellite picture, that one with the hat on. It's so well made, it really look perfectly authentic to me, not in any way like the hat isn't a part of the picture originally. If there wasn't the picture above, I'd think that Britain always looks like that from the air.

Oh man we will get a new Korean War if things continue like this. Merry Christmas Kim Jong-il and the other guy, the one from South Korea, Lee Myung-bak! Please behave yourselves.

They better not start a war before I'm out of college and in the Marines - I don't want to miss out on the excitement, dammit!

On a side note, I saw an older Mercedes Benz driving through town. No oldtimer, but old enough to still have an upright star instead of the one that's just lying flat on the hood. Anyway, the owner of the car had put a tiny Santa hat on the Mercedes Star. So funny!

You can even give it a hat:
I see you've placed a hat over those horrible places known as Scotland and Northern Ireland, now if you could just find something festive to obscure Wales and Eire, then England shall have a merry Christmas by herself.
