Denmark to lay claim to North Pole
The Kingdom of Denmark is preparing to claim ownership of the North Pole, according to a Danish media report.

In a document leaked to the Danish newspaper Information, Denmark will ask the United Nations to recognize the North Pole as a geologic extension of Greenland, the vast Arctic island that is a Danish territory. Danish Foreign Minister Lene Espersen confirmed the annexation attempt, Information reported.

According to The Copenhagen Post, "The kingdom is expected to make a demand for the continental shelf in five areas around the Faroe Islands and Greenland, including the North Pole itself."

Denmark has set its sights on the geographic North Pole, a fixed point in the Arctic Ocean at 90 degrees north latitude and 0 degrees longitude. The magnetic north pole, the one your Cub Scout compass points to, is near there but moves around all the time as Earth's magnetic field shifts, according to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.

Five countries - Canada, Denmark (via Greenland), Norway, Russia and the United States (via Alaska) - have coasts on the Arctic Ocean, but none has ever claimed ownership of the pole. Working under a United Nations mandate, high-ranking diplomats have met several times to work out a plan for mutually acceptable boundaries.

Does this mean that Santa Claus is going to be required to talk with an accent now and smoke a lot of weed?

I think many of you people are confused, so let me lay it out for you.

That's twice you had me laughing audibly in the last 24 hours. And both times my oldest daughter asked me what was funny. I was not able to provide an answer, due to the fact that she's seven and you have a disgusting, filthy mind. (j/k)

 
yup, I had to look that up and cringe every time I open the urban book; :D

I also resent the OP casting aspersions on the Dutch people of the world. We are not after world dominion; just a little slice of the pie. :D

munchies :)

I was going to change the title but knappy is kinda sensitive this time of the month huh, what????

That's on me. "The Dutch" just made a snappier headline. You are correct, I used the wrong name.
