    Iceland was first settled in 874.(When it was sunny and livable, kidding!)

    It is located in the North Atlantic Ocean just south of the Arctic Circle (and just left of friggin nowhere)

    Has one of the world’s highest levels of civil freedoms (like anyone cares what they do!)

    Iceland is the world’s 18th largest island. (Tourism hasn’t found an angle for that one!)

    They have a famous old geyser, Strokkur, which erupts every 5-10 minutes.(Hugh Hefner would be proud, whoops, that’s an old geezer, sorry!)

    Iceland winters are mild and windy while their summers are damp and cool.(That translates to friggin cold and friggin wet!)

    Very few plants or animals have migrated to Iceland or even bothered to evolve since the last ice age, 10,000 years ago. (Oh, except the Polish and Bjork!)

    There are no native reptiles or amphibians (Explains why the French didn’t claim it!)

    Icelanders are well known for cuisine and poetry. ( How many words for friggin cold could there possibly be?)

    Oh and last but no least, they’re broke! (They can be found on the Who’s Who list of Countries in Recession)
