    They do not have nukes, they have volcanoes.

    When they triggered one of them last year, it caused a lot more disruption to European air traffic than 9/11 did to US air traffic. And they know how to use their volcanoes right: During the incident Reykjavik airport was one of the few airports in Europe still open.

    I am pretty sure this was retaliation against the Brits abusing anti-terror legislation to freeze Icelandic assets.

    If you do not understand satire, you should not have read this...
