3. I must assume he thinks if the US can buy it he can hide the evidence of climate change

which Greenland manifests... I dunno, that's the best I got -- trying to know what this moronic sociopath is thinking seems really pointless sometimes.

Have a little perspective here. It's not like he woke up to plant Trump flags all over the place.

Would be an interesting acqusition. The Europhile nature of the population almost guarantee Greenla d would be a blue state.

8. No, see, I typed the OP because Curly of the 3 Stooges...

used to say Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!

So, you know, I typed Nuuk! Nuuk! Nuuk! and then posted a picture of Curly. See what I did there?

Nuuk is the capital city of Greenland, so instead of Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!, I typed Nuuk! Nuuk! Nuuk! Get it?

Then I posted a picture of Curly so everyone could picture Curly saying Nuuk! Nuuk! Nuuk! instead of Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!

Get it?

WOOB! WOOB! WOOB!

Get it?











Get it?

13. The thing about Nuuk is that it seems to be pronounced

several different ways depending on the dialect of the speaker.

I hear it rarely, but it seems that Americans pronounce it as "Nuke". But I've also heard it pronounced as something closer to "knock".
