Gnarly Gnu Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 So if you are tootling along on a recreational flight out over the Coral Sea, perhaps en-route to New Caledonia it seems there is an island that doesn't exist and never has: The maps lie: Australian scientists discover Manhattan-sized island doesn’t actually exist Reality always wins...

fly_tornado Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Another Lesbian conspiracy designed to trick conservatives into moving there when Gillard wins another term... foiled.

Bryon Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Dont you guys know nuffink It is one of those fake islands that are really oil rigs in disguise. They have them off the coast of Seal Beach in California But it wasnt an oil rig, it is all part of the American dream of world domination and was in fact afloating spy platform and they were spying on us When they found out someone had rumbled them, they just up anchor and sailed away Now all we have to do is look for a new island that pops up somewhere between Oz and Enzed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it drifted away as well with all the other tax havens. Get a pair of sissors and cut everything away south of Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason Tassie drifted away is because some silly bugga cut the phone cable between Vic and Tassie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarly Gnu Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 The good thing about Sandy Island is that it actually appeared as a shaded area on the Google map. This gives it legitimacy and allows me to offer it for sale to folk like Green voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some nice beach photos and use them to sell any area in the middle of the ocean. Been done before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this was a marketing line used by Eggenfella before switching from Suzuki to Honda engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
