Definitely cool, but not that hard. All you need is a stick and some rope.

Wouldnt that be two sticks? One in the Middle and the Other to draw the Circumference? Linked by a specific measure of Twine?

Well, that would work--I was talking about using a stick as an axis, and using the rope to draw the circumference. You could really use any digging implement to draw the circle.

The only way to put it in US territory is to build that sea wall from florida to cuba to yuchatan and drain it...that way it is all inside US borders.

Yeah... I'm almost certainly part Neanderthal. My ancestors are descended from the Fir Bolg (Builg) people of Ireland, who were described as short, broad-shouldered, dark-haired, and dark-complexioned. This describes not only some of the characteristics of Neanderthals, but also all of my dad's brothers.
