Al Dente Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Graham Island (at the moment 20ft under water) caught my attention. In July of 1831 the island appeared in the middle of the Mediterranean, conflict arose between the Brits and Sicilians over possession of this small rock, and then the island disappeared by the end of the year.

DonRocks Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Graham Island (at the moment 20ft under water) caught my attention.

It's hard not to like the Flag of Sicily (first adopted in 1282, yes, 1282) - which is Medusa's head surrounded by three naked legs (I'm pretty sure that once you've now seen it, it will be on your "Top 5 Flags That I'll Always Remember" list - especially if you're a recruiter for Cirque de Soleil). The historical detail recorded about Graham Island, even on Wikipedia, is remarkable considering its brief appearance. Why yellow, and why red? Hi! Hell, Lo! Land! My bed.
