We need a song as well... To be honest, I don't think anyone really cares. It's all about saving face on both sides of the fence. Denmark put a ship over there a year back and now our Foreign Minister is stepping foot on there to let them know that it's not solely theirs. I can also see it being a trip in the case that interntional law was needed.
Either way... It will never get to the level of hillarity that has happened with Dokdo and that is too bad. I would like to see our own "Hans Island is ours!!" banners draped all across small town Canada. |

I still think my rock-scissors-paper solution is the most elegant.
Best of 7, Denmark, and the loser pays the winner's bar tab. |

| Nah, it's the only one of the three that got any responses; you can tell people are very passionate and outspoken about the whole issue... |

Oh Lord! I hope not. I wouldn't wanna have any part of that kind of stupidity. Next thing you know people will be lopping off fingers. Hmm...been done. How about slicing off ears? Your land? Sorry. I can't hear you. I just lopped off my ears. Talk to the hand. |

Do you think this song can be adapted for that purpose?
I hope my translation is at least approximately right:
Lonely island, faraway from me, in the East Sea,
Today a violent wind blows.
With a tiny face I confront the wind.
Dokdo, last night I slept well.
Of course, Dokdo has two syllables and Hans has only one,
so that is one adaptation which will have to be made. |

What do you mean Hans has only one syllable? Can't you hear it? �ѽ�? There are obviously 2! |
