<blockquote><span title="qreply"> &gt;regarding the question of how the fly river got its name<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;the source could have been my old unreliable world atlas<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;which commits the flagrant error of showing the new guinea bisection<br/>
&gt;interrupted not only by the fly river just below the middle but also by a<br/>
&gt;second river comprising a purely fantastic northernmost wet sector at the<br/>
&gt;top<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;the result is a tall stick figure facing west into indonesia<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;which is accentuated by the way this atlas has cropped the map<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;the head of the figure is formed by the fantastic river at the north end &<br/>
&gt;its codpiece is formed by the fly<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;<br/>
&gt;there is even a puddle in indonesia just beneath the fly<br/>
&gt;<br/>
