I said nothing of the sort, and I definitely did not eat that
plump-breasted pigeon...

In all honesty, I don't think that Antarctica belongs to anyone. No one
permanently lives there, the population is transient. There's no local
population base to draw from, and almost no permanent infastructure. As far
as I'm concerned, it belongs to whoever lives there at the moment.

The BOD can give it to whomever, but if there isn't anyone there... fish
and penguin guano don't buy memberships. And the BOD has been known to
make, er, *interesting* pronouncements. They're worth what we paid for
them, I suppose. :-)
