14 EARTH/CONTINENTS/ANTARCTICA

The popular belief that no claims of ownership are recognized or denied in the icy reaches of Antarctica is actually untrue. The entire continent has been owned by the descendants of the notorious Bob 'seal basher' Philips since October 1932, when he acquired the whole area in a game of snow poker. Feeling rather guilty about the whole affair and not being particularly endowed in the brain department, Philips decided to help out the local community with their on-going temperature issues by secretly installing a gas central heating system for all residents. The resultant genocide left Philips two short for his local darts team and no other team to play anyway, so he moved back to his home town of Blackburn where he ran a local swimming pool with his wife until his death in 1967.
