I bought this globe at an art fair once, it had been repainted with different
continents and oceans. The kids and I had great fun naming various areas. One
of the first thing my then 5 or 6 year old son did was make Rhode Island an
island. Well, I dont actually think there is a planet out there just like it,
any more than I do one just like Earth. Nevertheless, there is something out
there that probably resembles Earth a little. And maybe somewhere somebody is
speaking a language amazingly like one of our conlangs.
     Moreover, nobody knows the future. Some one and his friend learn the same
language. Later their wives want in on it. Later their kids. It could grow.
Esperanto has grown. Lojban has grown. Who knows? Who the heck knows?
