Correction: that’s “land of 10,000 lakes” … it’s on the license plate, so we know it must be true that there actually are that many.

Yes, I knew that. There have been so many mergers lately, I must have been confused. So, you have one of the boring plate designs--the state map is missing, for one, and the colors are bland.

They know it's an even number? I imagine that lakes are sometimes ephemeral. There's the lake in the central valley of California that was diverted out of existence but reappeared after the heavy rains. There is also a lake in Death Valley that appeared after the rains, but I guess is gone now. The water birds found it.

I doubt, whether aridity is an issue in Finland. The counting is of course a matter of interpretation, since many of the lakes are either interconnected to each other, or internally divided by islands and ridges. The number of 187,888 uses a criterion of at least 500 square meters in surface.

Indeed - I think you’ll be my first sadist? Hope you have a strong whipping arm, because you already know there’ll be plenty required if it’s one of my stories! You know what I’m like! :facepalm:

Yes sir, Mr Loxuru, sir, excuse me, sir, but I think, sir, that I left something behind that sofa. Sir.

On a quick count, we've got 108 named lochs in my corner of Scotland - but no Loch Zuru!

That's because no one dares approaching it.
Loch Zuru (or Loch Xuru) is a cold dark water, hidden in the mountains of Galloway, unfathomably deep, always shrouded in mist. It houses a legendary monster, which protects the waters against intruders, and which only obeys a beautiful, mysterious Lady of the Lake. It is said that in the center lies a rocky island, with a haunted castle on it, toward which the souls of the dead are ferried to, from where they enter the underworld.:icon_writing:

Ah yes.

He only obeys the Lady because she provides an endless supply of haggis ;)
 
It goes back to when England collided with Scotland and bent up all our nice level rock into a corrugated landscape, about 490 million years ago - a palaeozoic ancestor of Barb must have been involved!

My ancestral line has often been likened to a tectonic force. :rolleyes:

It was a most enjoyable topic for a major assignment for my second year Geology class, but we only spoke of the Plate Tectonics, the Barb Theory must be a more recent development!

Yes, really quite recently. First put forth by the renowned thinker and crucifier, T.H. Tree, shortly after I backed his Mustang out of the garage without thinking to open the garage door.

Do you regret, that, during the opening of the Atlantic (70MA ago), Scotland was not torn off from England again? You maybe would have lived in a blue state as Barb's neighbour!:eusa_doh:
