Crazy? Who's crazy? I'm not crazy and neither am I  :P

But YOU, sir, are crazy for suggesting we try for a sub-5-minute time on a map that's as fun as this. Do the people at Disney World ask you to finish all the rides in under 5 minutes? I think NOT! Why? Because rides are FUN and you know they must be. Why? Because I used all caps, which is unarguably proof of my infallible analytical prowess. So you must agree with me or keep silent.  :-X

This map is simply too fun to rush through. Could we finish the map in under 5 minutes? Could we finish Disney World (or a more preferable amusement park, if you so prefer) in under 5 minutes? Could a rabid butterfly beat up Smokey the Bear? Sure, I mean possibly... I mean who knows? That's not the right question to ask.

The right question to ask is whether one SHOULD finish this map in under 5 minutes, and I think that any aardvark which has ever sat upright in the pilot seat of a commercial airplane would heartily concur that maps as entertaining as this one should NEVER be done so quickly. Lotsa fun!

Thanks for the map!  ;D

Funny

There was a balloon in the shape of an aardvark in the streets of Amsterdam where I'm on vacations and I found it very funny.

And no, I didn't visit any of the funny bars before "seeing" that balloon

And now I wake up to this comment

Thanks for playing!

Sub 5 may be a wee tad ambitious!

I missed this one the first time around and will now commence to having some "Haywire" style fun, whilst partaking of some of that Amsterdam style brewski.
Thanks,

LOL @ all. You guys rock! Well, you either rock or you're stoned... or maybe you're stoned from listening to hard rock, who knows? Either way, it's good stuff!  8)

HA! The infamous aardvark of Prince Henry! I remember when he brought that thing back from one of his naval voyages. After it died, he had it stuffed but his wife threw it out because... well, it stunk really bad. I think her name was Amalia(?) but we just called her Mali-Mari. Pity how she died. She refused to let this strange, evil-looking "Count Something-or-other" bite her neck so he breathed out some kinda gaseous cloud which filled her lungs, effectively suffocating her. (I think the cover story was "pneumonia"). When the Count turned to me and pointed I just pulled down my collar and was like, "Dude, whatever - just don't breathe on me, k?" Ah, strange memories - that seems like ages ago.

Did you happen to get a pic of the rabid butterfly attacking Smokey the Bear? Cuz that one has an even MORE interesting story behind it!  :o

Aardvark in Amsterdam

Amsterdam, Noord Holland, Nederland.

The ONE PLACE in the world where the animal name "AardVark" is not strange, indeed it is a clear descriptive name.

To the English-speaking countries, the name is as exotic and  incomprehensible as "Armadilo" or "Pangolin" (and most people would not know the one from the other)

Silly!
It is AMSTERdam, not AMPERdam.   (almost-dam or barely-dam, for those who do not Dutch)

Now to the Dutch.... get that word image out of your mind, next time you hear your hometown's name.
Almost-damn   ;-)

Well, Hoover Dam does produce a lot of electricity so Amper-Dam makes sense to me. I think it's the home of Volt-ron, right?  :P
