Altered Maps XVI: Gerardus Mercator Must Die

[W|M]

North Korean power metal, gloryfying the leader riding on his giant nuclear pegasus to destroy the walls of the white house ...Utgard I mean.... yeah... epic .

 

[Kyriakos]

^Earth:

Any particular reason why Malaysia has more metal bands per capita than virtually all other far eastern countries?

(well, all, if you don't count waitotaku Japan; not sure about Mongolia, but that is more steppe asian anyway)

 

[The_J]

Did you get the reference?

Öhm...no?

lol nice pick for the song

[The_J]

Aaaah, yeah, loooooong time ago

 

[Kyriakos]

"20-80%" is a rather bizarrely formulated bracket. One would expect them to want to cut a bit off there.

Also: lol @ Slovenia.

Was that intentionally phrased like that?

 

[Kyriakos]

Was that intentionally phrased like that?

Wasn't it beyond obvious?

 

[Arakhor]

Well, as you are one of our male members who supposedly dislikes puns, I'd thought I'd enquire.

 

[Kyriakos]

:/

I already regret answering you

 

[Snerk]

Circumcision is hands down crazy. There, I said it.

 

[metatron]

Also: lol @ Slovenia.

Yeah that is lol.
Because it's misinformation. Slovenia is firmly in the below 20% category.

Why wouldn't they? They didn't get conquered by the Puritan Empire recently.

Speak of the devil:
They unbanned information critical towards circumcision in South Korea some time ago - you know things like this being ridiculous, medically unnecessary and totally something the Muricans made them do.
Apparently before you were not allowed to publish on such matters.
Circumcision in South Korea has now entered the characteristic decline collapse that befell Australia and New Zealand a long time ago.

 

[Kyriakos]

SK is firmly bested by Best Korea in this.

 

[metatron]

1. Not paying for it helps apparently.
2. When even Mormons get it you've really dun did stupid.

Of all the weird health decisions that the US makes, non-Jewish circumcision is covered, but a dozen other things aren't?

 

[Snerk]

So I guess foreskin isn't a preexisting condition then?

Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's

This is from the age when people (in the Anglosphere) were concerned with children (of any sex) sitting on chairs. Because even that could potentially "excite" them.

 

[Lohrenswald]

"close enough"

I thought their flag was red, white and blue?
