Be sure to read this hilarious parody news story that begins, "In a surprising vote, the Association of American Geographers has reclassified all but four countries as 'dwarf countries.' This mirrors the action taken by astronomers who reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet last month."

It’s incredible what a group of so named “geographers” did, reclassified the countries using the US square measure. Ridiculous. What do they will do when the expected earthquake separate California from the “great nation”; make a new reclassification? ? ? A country is a country, as a nation is a nation, despite the geographical size. What about the people who live inside, what about their culture, their language. Do the Americans don’t remember that US is only a piece of land in the North America continent. Do they don’t remember their ancestors came from Great Britain, without residence, nor legal papers they invade the land where the “Americans” live today. Ohh, wao, what the people without knowledge of their history are doing. Well, after all, they are making history, a bizarre one, but is history.
