So…Burma is full of monoliths?
Then what about a flag that’s entirely black?
No, those are the monoliths.
Needs a little white “eye slit” in the center.
Made a flag
Which we bin needin’
Now everybody’s
Eyes are bleedin’
Burma Shave
Why did you say “Burma”?
Intercourse the penguin?
The country’s name was changed by the ruling junta; its opponents still call it “Burma”, which admittedly is also a much cooler name than “Myanmar”.
Also, ‘Myanmar’ sounds unappealingly British. (Sorry… “Bri’ish”. Can’t forget the glottal stop.)
To me, Myanmar seems like some exotic new synthetic material.
Did you know the shell of the International Space Station is nearly 40% structural myanmar?
I was wondering exactly the same thing.
Does that mean some of the astronauts are under house arrest?
Nah. There was a treaty. The shell also contains 13% kremlin, 27% nylon, 18% aluminum, and 3% boron.
Quite the opposite. They’re more likely to be blown out into space due to myanmar failure.
That proves they are not in house arrest, or else the percentage of boron would be higher.
If you anyone comes looking for me I’ll be in the corner hanging my head in shame.
Isn’t Myanmar only one of two countries (along with North Korea) without an Internet connection, at least for the common citizenry?
Apparently it’s one of the few countries not to officially switch to metric. Typical for a country apparently deciding policy by astrologer.
The correct answer is “I panicked”. It’s like I don’t even know this place anymore.
Shmendrik was close, however.
This feels like a good place to mention Rangoon’s Tiger Girls. And here. I think you can see them on YouTube, also.
