(it's for sale):
Mutton Island Off Atlantic Coast of County Clare, Ireland: The island itself comprises of 185 acres of grassland with a freshwater lake and several springwater wells. It slopes gently from sea level on the east to a height of 110 feet over two kilometers to the west where the watchtower is situated. The east of the island contains the ruins of two cottages, a disused graveyard and the site of a cross and oratory as well as several walled fields.

"If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

I looked at the ad for it, and you have to query them for the price; they wouldn't list it in the listing.

You're welcome. I was especially intrigued by the "smugglers' caves"...not that honest ~I~ would ever consider such things.

I was thinking about buying it, declaring war on the United States, surrendering, and getting foreign aid. I originally considered declaring war on France since it was closer but I couldn't afford to keep the island up plus send the foreign aid to France.

Glad you re-thought your plan. France would surrender faster than you could.

Vive le Ribbit!

But let me say this in France's defense. These people might be smarter than we give them credit for. I think it was a French plan to let the terrorist burn all of their automobiles. Now they can't convert them into car bombs. The French were able to surrender on this one with out anybody taking note.

Might be a good place to get away from it all and brush up on your Irish.

It's the farm-labor contractor's fault! I TOLD him to check their SS numbers before hiring them in Tiajuana...

Better Clare roots than Clairol. ;') The for sale ad popped up some months ago, and AppleGateRanch found the main topic article here. S'cool.
