Lokk at this picture:

A picture from the official FBI website

Look at the location of Austria.
Isn't it any wonder that some of the US rockets are missing their destination ?
Give peave a chance.

What dopes!

Yeah- I bet there's a whole lot of "shrimp on the barbie" in the middle of Europe!

Don't the people at the FBI watch the Crocidile Hunter? Wouldn't they notice the lack of the ocean?

People are so STUPID!

Perhaps more interesting is the country called "Croatia Romania."

LOL.

Oh, and who owns the little bit by Poland? Thought it was still Russia myself, but maybe the FBI has insider information.

BWUWAHAHAHA - You are right, even I didn't look at the map with that precision.

Perhaps the FBI wanted to save money ( and a 16 year old boy made this website ).

On the other hand: To be frank, I wouldn't be so well versed if I was been asked about the locations of the states of the USA...

What the hell are you talking about? The Crocodile Hunter is from Australia, not Austria. You and the FBI need to go back to Geography 101.

I can't beleve that map is on a Goverment website.
I am sure that Austria arrow is even pointing at the wrong country?
I think that Austria is the dark green one between Germany, Switzerland & the top of Italy.
It also apears that even though a tiny place like Monaco gets a spot on the coast of Fance, Holland has been swallowed up by Belgium.
The arrow for England is actually pointing at England, but the green colour takes in all of Britain, The sensible thng to do wouls have been to colour Northern Ireland (which has no name tag the same green, then had United Kingdom instead.

From another thread:

Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

I can't believe it took this long for someone to take the bait. Good lord people, I know I'm not going to win any irony awards here, but throw me a bone,

I see that Finland and Iceland have wisely decided to remain anonymous...

Just because YOU didn't get it doesn't mean everybody else is stupid.

It certainly gave me a good chuckle.

I'll admit that I laughed too. I just love a straight faced delivery. It was perfect.
