The internet, and a wise MIA boarder told me so.


What other interesting facts have you learned on the internet today?

Then I don't exist.

I learned that kids turn some people into braindead zombies who forget important historical facts and lore. Also, anyone who claims that Wales exists is a traitor and a philistine -- the kind of vicious ne'er-do-well who would also dispute the undeniable facts that England invented tea and Africa.

Lucky for you, dear one, you have no idea what that feels like.

I also learned that the Ottoman Empire was hilly. In fact, it was the HILLIEST of them all.

Only in old King Arthur stories...Wales is a legendary mythical place...

[Lummel]

Occasionally some people have postulated that a mountainous country alongside England might exist, in the literature this concept is often called *Wales as a play on the well known sea beast mistaken for islands by early travellers.  But upon investigation it invariably turns out that they have forgotten to taken into account the extreme hilliness of the Ottoman Empire.  Of course as you all know a secondary hilly area located in western Europe would cause the Earth's orbit to become unstable and to sway like Dylan Thomas on his way back from the pub.

Isn't Wales where that Harry Potter series of books was set...?

[Lord O' Bones]

I thought that was Narnia?

[Ser Scot A Ellison]

Ahh, the Wales denialists strike again.  We've Welsh board members living and posting from Wales.  What more do we need to show Wales is a real place.  I've posted photographs of the Welsh regional parlemant.  Geez what more do y'all need?

So because someone says something on the internet, it has to be true?

C'mon Scot, I expect more out of you.

[lockesnow]

interestingly, this came up last night when someone rolled a W for scattergories, there was going to be an argument about whether or not Wales was a valid answer for country, but then we realized two people had written it down and so it was a moot point and they both had to scratch it out.

If Wales doesn't exist where was this building constructed?

Inigima,

Yup.  It's far too extensive and elaborate to be a mere prank.
Someone had to have spent time and effort to create a language this complete.  Who was this person?
