"What's funnier than a gorilla chasing bananas through a school? Nothing," said Andrew Leinonen, the prank's mastermind and the student who dressed as a gorilla.

It's a peninsula, so the new border would be easy to defend. Lots of coastline, so the navy can lob in the shells when necessary.

Isn't it time?

So, the Lord Jesus has been busy working on OS X.
