- johnroth, on 12/27/2008, -3/+212Hah that is awesome. I sat thinking, "What, is the town shaped like something weird? They have a weird semi-penis looking thing next to it? I don't get it? Oh, they live on a Volcano? Who cares. Oh... oh. Oh. They live, by themselves, on a volcanic island in the middle of the ocean."

- bitterbug, on 12/28/2008, -1/+64I think I played Call of Duty against a guy from there.

- AManWithNoName, on 12/28/2008, -0/+58I bet they write code on little pieces of paper, put it in bottles and throw it out into the ocean. Then, a guy in Cuba receives them, and types them into his computer, and sends printouts of the web pages back.

- alex7575, on 12/28/2008, -0/+30I just watched a BBC show on allergies, and that island is pretty significant on some Dr,'s research. 50% of the population on that island suffer from asthma, and there are only 7 surnames in that make up the population's name..
