    As long as the new owners don't change the current statutes on Monkey Knife-fighting, I don't see this as a problem.

    I also hope they clear up the inconsistencies in the human-bovine marriage laws.

    I believe It's empty right now. Sail up there with a paper knife. occupy the terriroty. Kill all zero people who resist. Declare yourself the revolutionary government.

    Of course, the declaration of what makes for statehood is a little arbitrary. So rather than go to the effort, I declare myself King of Antarctica.

    bladesjester: the sun do its work

    Off the coast of Essex, England, UK? In the North Sea?

    I'm guessing you've never been to the east coast of England. It is sunny for approximately half an hour in the afternoon only of the third Wednesday after Pentecost.

    A far, far faster method of obtaining fresh water in the North Sea would be to simply open your mouth and tilt your head skywards. It'll fill with fresh rainwater - no desalination required - in about six seconds.
