I notice you got message 3333 as well as 2222. Timing is all.<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt;so do you think this means we may actually have 3 salients toward or <br/>
&gt;actual beachheads onto south america<br/>
 </span></blockquote>It&#39;s like one of these old sleight-of-mind maths puzzles from <br/>
Scientific American. Where did the extra high seas come from?<br/>
The two extra patches could only be claimed by Peru (in the north) <br/>
and Chile (in the south), but the boundaries are drawn so as to <br/>
prevent that happening, blocking off Peru and Chile from their little <br/>
patch of claimable ocean outside the EEZs of Chile and Argentina <br/>
respectively. So I guess the high seas *have* pushed a bit shorewards <br/>
in Peru and Chile, though it feels odd to say that, given that the <br/>
relevant patches of high sea are offshore from Chile and Argentina!<br/>
