True but 1. others besides me had listed Florida, Maine & Kentucky. 2. the dodo (extinct) was suggested by someone for Muaritus. 3. the dragon (mythical) was suggested by someone for China. So, Jeffry: mythical? extinct? nations? land masses? geologically homogenous regions? _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
