I think its all of NYC that's the issue ... the whole thing ... lets get rid of that ... we should be able to just drag it out to sea somewhere.
We can give it to the Scots and say they forgot to take it along earlier.
No joke. Geologically, a zillion years ago, what is currently the north of Scotland was part of New York. Geologists have confirmed that the brownstone cliffs on the north side of Loch Ness are identical rock to rock New York--crystalline structure, chemistry, the works. Identical to the brownstone used in old NYC row houses. There was a History Channel episode on it.
The Scots will set those New Yorkers straight. On the other hand, it might make the Scots angry at us. Wouldn't want a buncha angry Scots. They might cut off our supply of scotch. And, that would be bad. Really, really bad.
Skip it. Forget I mentioned it.
Just tow NYC out to sea and open the scuttle cocks.
