Actually, I think they did it because they figured there'd be lots of oil there.

Oops.

EDIT: I know, I know, this is just a joke. We all know the real reason is because they figured they might be able to milk some extra points out of the flood plains....

Ah, you used the "joke" smilie this time. Otherwise, I tend towards playing straight man to silly statements because I cannot hear the irony in your printed words.

Is building cottages "meta-gaming" to you?
