Maldives Looks To Relocate Entire Country
By Wyatt Earp | November 12, 2008
Apparently, the country is getting that “sinking feeling,” and they need to pack up and move – the entire country – before Maldives turns into a modern-day Atlantis.
Visit our sinking country! And remember, you can’t spell Maldives without “dives.”
MALE, Maldives — The new president of the Maldives wants to relocate — his entire country.
Mohamed “Anni” Nasheed, a former political prisoner, was sworn in Tuesday after he unseated Asia’s longest-serving leader in the country’s first multi-party elections two weeks ago. He inherits an island nation with several problems.
Foremost among them: The very likely possibility that the Maldives will sink under water if the current pace of climate change keeps raising sea levels.
The Maldives is an archipelago of almost 1,200 coral islands located south-southwest of India. Most of the islands lie just 4.9 feet (1.5 meters) above sea level.
The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has forecast a rise in sea levels of at least 7.1 inches (18 cm) by the end of the century. (H/T – CNN)
This is a pretty good idea. While we’re at it, can we also locate, Detroit, San Francisco, and the entire state of New Jersey? Just asking.

They should relocate to the Mariana Trench.
With a prez named Mo, one would think he’d want his country to move to BFEgypt.
Randal – Deep, deep inside it.
Macker – In fairness, his tavern rocks! “Mo’s tavern, Mo speaking.”
If we get rid of New Jersey, what the heck are the the manufactures of “skunk perfume” you find in novelty shops going to find their base ingredient?
Not to mention the solidified wino puke and petrified dog turds.
These things are the only things left that are made in America.
Kaveman – Oh, don’t forget about the organized crime!
Maybe Pelosi can bail them out.
Possibly literally.
Doghouse – She’ll bring a pail.
I hope they do relocate. Then I’ll swoop in and by them at a fire sale price. When they DON’T SINK I’ll be sitting pretty.
Global Warming…just ask Al Gore.
How fast can you sink Detroit, news has it they want a $10billion bailout now.

Captain – Your luck? You’ll need your PFD Breathing Apparatus.
E.L. – Absolutely not! After Kwame Kilpatrick sent the city into the sh*tter? Absolutely not!!!
