Too many fatties and it'll sink into the ocean

[–]Face_Roll 447ポイント448ポイント  (27子コメント)

That's how they lost the original Zealand.

Never forget.

[–]fakesocialiser 33ポイント34ポイント  (2子コメント)

Well that's technically true, the dutch province Zeeland that NZ is named after is mostly below sea level.

God damn will the Dutch ever learn

[–]TRIPEL_HOP_OR_GTFO 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nah, we just build bigger waterworks, dikes and dams.

[–]poizan423 49ポイント50ポイント  (20子コメント)

Uhm, I live on the original Zealand. As far as I know it's still there.

It's the largest danish island, it's where Copenhagen is located.

Oh my god guys we found it!

[–]sharkmdb 79ポイント80ポイント  (0子コメント)

How did it get over there. Little rascal

[–]whatsupskip 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

We did it Reddit!!!

[–]fakesocialiser 64ポイント65ポイント  (5子コメント)

No, new Zealand is named after the dutch province Zeeland.

Australia was originally New Holland.

[–]Space_Pirate_R 36ポイント37ポイント  (3子コメント)

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam.

[–]Cyerdous 22ポイント23ポイント  (2子コメント)

Why they changed it I can't say.

[–]ElQuesoBandito 27ポイント28ポイント  (0子コメント)

people just liked it better that way

[–]rlamacraft -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Because we're the British and that's just what we do.

[–]poizan423 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Australia was originally New Holland.

I thought that was Mars.

[–]SirGuyGrand 17ポイント18ポイント  (2子コメント)

New Zealand is actually named after the Dutch Zeeland.

[–]EarlofATX 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I found the humorless Dane!

[–]BitchpuddingBLAM 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Did the fatties leave?

[–]monkeymonkey12345678 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

I thought that was called Sjaelland

[–]poizan423 -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

"Sjælland" is the danish name.

[–]monkeymonkey12345678 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

So it's proper name then since it's Danish.

[–]CarmellaKimara 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Largest Danish island, you mean Greenland? 'Cause Copenhagen definitely isn't in Greenland.

[–]poizan423 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nitpicker. Yes you are right, Greenland is stil part of Denmark, though they have a large degree of autonomity.

[–]SepDot 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm glad someone made this comment :D

[–]2wicky 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

They actually did loose the original Zeeland to the ocean in 1953. Thanks to the incredible Delta works, the Dutch were able to retrieve it, but it does remain under sea level.

[–]merci4levenin 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Loving all the concerned comments about NZ's namesake

[–]Oops_killsteal 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It was Atlantis, not Zealand.

[–]Rodrigo_Loco 45ポイント46ポイント  (15子コメント)

They are worried that the island will capsize

Nah only the South Island is a canoe (Waka).

[–]soiedujour 8ポイント9ポイント  (10子コメント)

Yeah but the north is a fish, at least the Waka has stability.

[–]schmabers 7ポイント8ポイント  (6子コメント)

first time i've ever heard someone call the south island a stable environment.

[–]soiedujour 7ポイント8ポイント  (5子コメント)

I'd say there are more stables in the South than the North Island. Even with the shaky environment here in Canterbury.

[–]schmabers 2ポイント3ポイント  (4子コメント)

clearly never been up the kauaeranga valley.

[–]soiedujour 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Lulz. It's true, I haven't.

[–]schmabers 4ポイント5ポイント  (1子コメント)

its like someone took a bunch of people from the hauraki plains and just placed them in the coromandel bush, and deforestation ensued. deforestation in the name of horse.

[–]bludgeonerV -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Hardly anyone has...

[–]Takuya813 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

te-ika-a-maui what what. we all know te upoko o te ika a maui is where it's at.

[–]soiedujour 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

Not a huge fan of the windy city; then again, I live in earthquake country.

[–]Takuya813 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

pros and cons for sure-- I liked the culture.. I mean it's not auckland so that's a plus ;)

the wind can piss off but the city is decent

[–]DAECircleJerk 18ポイント19ポイント  (1子コメント)

Hank Johnson agrees

[–]Kerrby87 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't know the context for that, nor do I want to. It is magical just listening to him ask/state that.

[–]red_ivy 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

No, it will tip over.
