The Angry Geologist Can't Make This Up

[hertinkness]

Today, thanks to the magic of Google Books and the New York Times, I found out that there exists out in the Pacific Ocean a tiny island nation called Niue.

The name translates to "Behold the Coconut!"

The fact I live in a world that has a place that is called "Behold the Coconut!" makes it a much happier world indeed.

I used to do that, too- but these days my only encyclopedias are at the library. I use H2G2 or Wikipedia.
