The Greek islands one really put me off. I kept thinking "but they're all Greek?".

Maybe I should have my coffee first next time...

Ha, well, they have never been Argentinian (OK, maybe briefly in 1982), but that gives me an idea: why not make a "Disputed territory" quiz?

I was thinking about this the other day. There are three potential reasons to believe that a territory belongs to a country.

1) Actual control of the territory

2) International recognition

3) Desire of the people in the territory

In regards to the Falklands, Argentina has none of the three. It is possibly the weakest claim to a territory that is commonly mentioned on JetPunk.

I'd add historical control of the territory. Which again... the modern nation of Argentina has never had any long period of peacetime control of the Falklands.

I was certain that capybaras were native to South America because I see them all the time here in Brazil

Well the quiz asks for the animal that is NOT native to South America, so capybara is obviously not the answer.
