I was thinking that with all the “no one will notice, we don’t have to report that” oil well blowouts, we should include Key West and make it the Gulf of M.U.C.K.

An alternative suggestion - do what they did with UTC. It’s an acronym of both “coordinated universal time” and “temps universel coordonné”, which doesn’t work in either English or French so everyone is equally unhappy

I’ve seen the meme about using the average of Fahrenheit and Celsius to make everyone unhappy, but I didn’t know they actually did it with UTC.

My favourite thing about XKCD is how every now and then someone links one but other than that I keep forgetting to check it, so any time I return there’s several new ones!
