WikiTravel.org as a source of humor

Since I enjoy travel and reading I matched them up at wikitravel.org. I've spent a good number of hours perusing the anecdotes and tips that they offer. Some of them elicit a response but it would be rude for me to add my notes inline so I will do it here.

In the spirit of quoting them and their Creative Commons Sharealike license I release this post under the same license. or whatever.

Here's the way this will work. I'll quote them. then I respond. Try to keep up and I want to remind you in advance: this is it folks, I don't dance.

*A common belief in Iceland is the hidden people, such as Elves or Dwarves who live in rocks and caves. Their road workers often avoid large rocks as to not upset the inhabitants. Approx 80-90% of Icelanders believe in the hidden people, and many have seen them. There is even a museum in Reykyavik devoted to the hidden people.
**Peggy Hill is collecting them. They have names like winklebottom. they have left your cold conditions and moved to more inhabitable continents. Perhaps you should consider following suit.

*However, low traffic in areas outside Reykjavik makes hitchhiking in Iceland an endurance sport.
**Just ha!

*Hitchhiking into the interior is tough, but everything works if you have enough time - calculating in days, not in hours. For longer distances or less touristic areas be prepared with some food, water and a tent or similar. The weather can be awful and sometimes spoils the fun of this way of traveling.
**Reminder: this is freaking ICEland. Ya think they brought that name out of a hat? No, Einstein. where we would marvel at the Mississippi river (ol' miss, deeeeeep river) they might enjoy staring at so and so glacier. Yes, GLACIER. camp on that, boy scout!

Did you know the Bahamas are just east of north carolina? According to my wall atlas the distance would be less than the drive from Memphis, TN to Pittsburgh, PA. But ya know what, that's a small bit of island to find. 20 square miles. Pretty much out in the middle of no freaking where. You run out of gas before you find it, you die. Ah paradise islands. We should equip more people with boats.
