That would be Takeshima, I believe. |

Bulsajo, not quite:
���� = Takeshima.
�븶�� = Tsushima, which is another island.
Speaking of Japan, isn't your avatar a picture of a character in a Japanese movie in which a wicked witch changes a girl's parents into pigs?
I saw that movie, but I forgot the title.

Tomato:
Are you saying that Takeshima ISN'T the Japanese name for Dok-do? Because according to this website(as well as others I looked at), it is.

I have managed to take the line..."OKEY DOKEY CHUNKY MONKEY" and fit it perfectly into all the verses of the Korean National anthem....My students really like this for its simplicity and I do hope they sing it at the dinner table in front of their fathers!  |

Okay, I was right the first time.
So it's:
���� = Takeshima
�븶�� = Tsushima
I'll go back and make the corrections again.
Now please, don't anybody make me change my mind a third time! |

I still think my rock-scissors-paper solution is the most elegant.

... that's definitely the best suggestion so far ?
... if it does go to war though I'd have to bet on the Danes.
Remember the vikings ? those guys were hard-core, plus wooden boats are almost impervious to radar ... which should give them enough of an advantage to slip by the canadian submarines which by this stage would probably be marooned off iceland somewhere.
... on the other hand though, it would'nt surprise me if the canadian mounties didn't pull off some cool mc guyver-like ambush scenario involving wild moose, pot-smoking american dissidents and free crates of budweiser.
actually this one is just too close to call. |
