😂 I suppose if it did happen, there'd be no one alive to relay the account of it 🤔

Yeah technically it's possible in ideal(or non ideal depending on perspective)circumstances, but it doesn't happen in the real world. Plus, like futurama says, never trust a whale biologist 😂

A long time ago I learned that this claim was made by 1 whale biologist and his photographer buddy, and is completely unsubstantiated 🙄 Edit : drunk typing

Just assumed you were trolling, because of the name n shiny new account, I'll put Haiti on my to do list, but I'm still too into the olmec culture at the moment.

By design, what are you on about, I'm mostly interested in ancient history. I only know about Lichtenstein because I like snoop dog n heard he tried rent the place, sorry if I'm not woke enough to know about every carribean island.🙄

Iirc snoop wanted to rent a a load of hotels n shit there, but being as they're so small he would've had to rent more or less the whole place,got denied, n the locals got pissed off when they learned about it, after the fact😂, so then they decided to put a listing on, it was cool, think it was 80k a night, but they'd let you rename streets, declare laws(within reason) etc

Aww😊 was expecting a good outcome with a nice compromise, I'm kinda ignorant of Haitian history, but I know Lichtenstein are cool😂 they famously once sent 80 soldiers on a campaign n came back with 81😂 dudes made a friend in war n brought him back😊😂

Reply to TIL That in 1774 James Cook charted Sandy Island off the coast of New Caledonia. Despite its' inclusion in official maps and charts for over two centuries in 2012 an Australian survey vessel proved the island had never actually existed and may have been a 'pumice raft' floating in the area. by GentPc
So it's the opposite of New Zealand, despite actually existing it's ignored by official maps 🤔🙄
