Monaco has had two Prince Alberts?

Ouch...

NewspeakIsUngood: Monaco has had two Prince Alberts?


Yep, but the first one was a a while ago (wikipop)


/born'n'raised in Monaco

quick question, could you theoretically annex the ocean? Are there any laws about annexing international waters?

Looks like a neat guy. Still, I'll never think of Monaco the same again.

//can't resist Prince Albert jokes

I guess they haven't heard about Agenda 21 and the New World Order citing a self sustaining civilization.

/Google if you haven't heard about it you will be surprised...

NewspeakIsUngood: Monaco has had two Prince Alberts?

One of them is in the can...

But the Vatican is also the 2nd smallest country, after:

Hail Sealand!

Canadian radio loves interviewing their King or Prince... actually pretty boring guys, really.

blow up the ocean?

/blue laser?
//ftw??

I can hear it now:

"My loyal and esteemed subjects, who have purchased and developed what little valuable waterfront property our great nation has to offer, I am about to depreciate your investments and ruin your formerly scenic view of the sea. Suck it."

As long as they don't alter Loews hairpin, Rascasse, Ste. Devote, the swimming pool complex and the exit from the tunnel, I don't really care.

Oh yeah, and the run through Casino. Don't mess with that bit, either.

And they've sent their navy to enforce it.

Monaco running out of room to accomodate the sky rocketing increase of billionaires and other thieving riff raff.Well at least we know where these suckers are, when the time comes when we will have a serious talk with these characters.

Second smallest? Huh.

Do they have a flag?

I didn't see anything about the ocean in TFA, just a Dubai-style offshore development. And doesn't Monaco back on to the Mediterranean Sea?

As long as they put in a passing place for the GP I'll be happy.

Monaco (Answering telephone): Hello, Monaco here.

Would Be Prankster: Yeah, hehheh, hello. Say.. do you have Prince Albert in a can?

Monaco: Hmm, well sure we're running a little short on space here, but I don't think I'd say he's in a 'can'. In fact that fine gentleman just recently decided to increase our country's land area. So...not in a can really. But if we did say that, then we've "popped the top" so to speak...

foxo: Monaco running out of room to accomodate the sky rocketing increase of billionaires and other thieving riff raff.Well at least we know where these suckers are, when the time comes when we will have a serious talk with these characters.

Well said. Nothing requires punishment like success.

They're their own country. Who's going to sue? In what court?

/They don't make 'em like they used to. :(

The GP is this week right? I can't wait!

FTA: The new neighbourhood would be a model of sustainable development using 10 times less energy than a normal area.

10 times less? If it's 1 times less, how much would that be?

LotP, THANKS for the Sealand mention!
I watch the legal conclusions surrounding Sealand attentively, so I'm happy it was brought up in this forum.

Inflatable Rhetoric: FTA: The new neighbourhood would be a model of sustainable development using 10 times less energy than a normal area.

10 times less? If it's 1 times less, how much would that be?

Zero.

I think the dipshiat who wrote the article was trying to say they'd achieve 10% of the typical energy consumption. There's a reason people who write for a living aren't awarded mathematics degrees.

Sweet Chin Music - She needs a bath, and several sammiches. In that order.

Or English. They don't speak it.

I'll bathe her. We can get some lunch later.

Sweet Chin Music: Second smallest? Huh.

Ah. GH. I see what you did there.

FTFA: While international celebrity magazines still focus on the royal family descended from Grace Kelly...

This line has borderline fail syndrome. I know I'm picking at semantics, but the Grimaldis as a whole aren't descended from her, she married into it. There were princes of Monaco long before the world heard of Grace Kelly. Also, there is more to the current Monegasque princely family (not 'royal family') than Albert and his sisters, although you'd never believe it judging by the press.

As a further aside, for you guys needing some eye therapy, google Charlotte Casiraghi. For the ladies, there's Andrea and Pierre, her brothers. Caroline's kids are drop dead gorgeous.

LMAO

Stilts in Monaco? Arrows tried it once before, and they were banned.



/Ugly Hotlinkification

Would this really a tourist attraction?
"Look Bob, a city over the water on stilts."
"OK, seen it. Let's move on."

A thousand times THIS. It's great to watch a movie like Grand Prix and see everything the same as it is today.

I would so love to go to that race, but I'm afraid I'm a bit too poor to fit in.

You new here? Florida has a tag all to itself for a reason. Logic will not stand.

"This country so small that you can take a taxi from one end to the other for 85 cents. I'm talking small. Last year, they had the whole country carpeted. Rhode Island could beat the crap out of it in a war. This is NOT a big place.

I've been to Monaco, the place was so small we went to France by rail for lunch. Took a Mercedes taxi back in time to catch our boat. Most beautiful coastline in the world there.

morning_foil: While international celebrity magazines still focus on the royal family descended from Grace Kelly, Albert has tried to put Monaco on the map with environmental measures.

the only reason monaco should be on the map:



hotlinked so it probably wont last.

Micronations don't count.


Which is probably why the Vatican shouldn't count either. My yard is greater than 10% of the size of that "country".

sealand is smaller.

F1 weekend......!

Wouldn't it be easier to just take some land from the French?

Yay, Kelly Monaco.
