I'll throw Suriname out there in case you're not following in Jim Jones' footsteps.

Tully Mars · 06-02-2008, 11:27 AM

Not in South America.

Leto · 06-02-2008, 11:43 AM

ok... Bermuda?

Tully Mars · 06-02-2008, 11:51 AM

Not an island.

little_tippler · 06-02-2008, 03:07 PM

So if it's not an island...and it's in the Northern and Western Hemispheres....and it's also not in South America or North America...Greenland? That's like a big island... heh.

I'm stumped.

uncle phil · 06-02-2008, 03:57 PM

ok, northern hemi...western hemi...not north...not south...not central...not an island...i'm stymied...

Hmm, lets see. West of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich) and North of the Equator, yet not in North or South America and not an island.

Let's just say I find it ironic you can't clearly see this location.

BadNick · 06-02-2008, 04:36 PM

You also said it's not Central America or S. America or U.S. or Canada or Mexico, and not an island. I think that pretty much eliminates everything I can think of.

How about under the Atlantic Ocean?

uncle phil · 06-02-2008, 04:41 PM

way down...
below the ocean...
where, i wanna be...

the lost continent of atlantis...

Maybe this will help:

uncle phil · 06-02-2008, 04:46 PM

a HA!!!

europe?

Tully Mars · 06-02-2008, 04:48 PM

Yep! You're on the right track Uncle Phil.

BadNick · 06-02-2008, 05:04 PM

ahh, you confounded my normal western hemisphere perceptions.

I'll go with Portugal

Tully Mars · 06-02-2008, 05:12 PM

We have a winner.

I seriously figured when Brazil was eliminated and I posted "mais leste." It pretty much left one country. Then after posting I found it "ironic" that LT couldn't "clearly see this location." I thought I couldn't make it any clearer, so I posted a map.

Yer up. Mr. Bad.

BadNick · 06-02-2008, 05:52 PM

OK. Where in the world am I? clue: I don't see Waldo here.

BadNick · 06-02-2008, 06:26 PM

no, not the w.h.

Tully Mars · 06-02-2008, 06:28 PM

Do you speak Japanese?

BadNick · 06-02-2008, 06:40 PM

No I don't, but I own three Japanese cars...but what does that have to do with where I am?

another clue since it relates to do with your question: while I am sure the residents there don't speak Japanese, the Japanese language has a connection to this place

Tully Mars · 06-02-2008, 06:45 PM

Hawaii?

Edit: Gez! now I'm doing it. Hawaii's in the WH which you stated you're not.

Philippines?

BadNick · 06-02-2008, 06:57 PM

as you said, not Hawaii. Also not the Philippines.

edit: bed time for bonzo. So throw out some guesses and I'll address them in the morning, eastern time morning that is, western and northern hemisphere, in the U.S., PA, near Philadelphia.

Tully Mars · 06-02-2008, 07:49 PM

Korea?

BadNick · 06-03-2008, 04:17 AM

no, not Korea. Here's another clue: not China.

I hope you worldly travellers don't loose patience, but I'll be offline until after lunchtime today ...Eastern U.S. time.

Tully Mars · 06-03-2008, 05:23 AM

Hmm, island?

BadNick · 06-03-2008, 09:19 AM

not an island. Do I have to hand you this on a plate, or what?

Tully Mars · 06-03-2008, 09:31 AM

Guess so, your clues are flying past me. I thought I was spoon feeding Lisbon too.

Waldo unseen.
Japanese has something to do with it.
North Eastern Hem.
Not an Island.

Shot in the dark...

Myanmar (Burma)

BadNick · 06-03-2008, 09:33 AM

and the drum roll................................................not Myanmar

when I said "plate" that was a clue

Leto · 06-03-2008, 09:42 AM

Well, plates can be made out of china, but you said not China. It's not an island. Thai food is popular, and it can be handed to you on a plate. So... I'll go with Thailand.

* although, I don't know how the waldo or Japanese references fit in. Except during WWII, Japan had conquered the area.

BadNick · 06-03-2008, 10:05 AM

dear Leto, your circuitous logic is interesting, but wrong. Not Thailand.

Think plates.....wet plates

Leto · 06-03-2008, 10:23 AM

hmmm....plates... plate techtonics.... underwater earthquake zone.... ergo wet plates.... pacific rim of fire... could be any unmentioned country along that seismically active zone... Russia. I'm thinking the Kamchatka peninsula

uncle phil · 06-03-2008, 10:24 AM

mongolia...

I like that logic, but Waldo and Japanese seem missing to me. Though I know jack shit about "Kamchatka."

I'm stumped.

Leto · 06-03-2008, 12:07 PM

weren't waldos a type of munition in WWII? and getting back to the Japanese, weren't they all over that area in the 1930's & '40's? conquering Korea, Manchuria, Sakhalin Islands (near Kamchatka)

aggghhh... Ok I give.

BadNick · 06-03-2008, 12:36 PM

forget about the "waldo" thing. I just threw that out there without any thought whatsoever. The plate tectonics idea is right on the money. Think about that concept in that area and you can get figure it out. Nudder clue: think plate tectonics under water...get it = wet plates.

uncle phil · 06-03-2008, 12:44 PM

guam?

Leto · 06-03-2008, 12:48 PM

tibet?

Not tibet. that's not underwater.

Wait a minute... maybe you aren't on dryland. Maybeyou are under water. Therefore not on an island.... How about the Marianas Trench?

(that would make Phil's Guam guess fairly close, except it's an island)

Tully Mars · 06-03-2008, 12:55 PM

Guam's an island.

Tibet, lot's of high ground pushed up by plates.

What about Kathmandu?
