Most Remote Inhabited Island

[mgnetic]

imagine how long they took to explain to the inhabitants that a piece of paper is worth more than food

[SquatchStomper]

I've worked for peanuts but never for potatoes

[maddyg]

In every shop on the island, it was like, "How much for these three potatoes?". "That will be four and a half potatoes"."Here's five potatoes. Keep the change".

[chadparsons]

I've had a long, somewhat irrational, fascination with this place.

[InMyField]

They could become the new currency as food gets scarce again.

[jamesrogers]

Potatoes may be a greater store of value than the dollar soon enough.

I have been to Ascension Island, but not the other two.

[HE-punt]

So here, money quite literally grows out the ground.
It's a pity they don't trade in lemons or limes, then money would grow on trees.
The most valuable thing on the island must be a spade and a garden fork.

[JimKJeffries]

A spud is of greater value than a fiat.

[PattPlays]

that left side of the islamd must have experienced an immense landslide at some point

For some reason, when you reply to a comment, if you don't type a letter for 10 seconds, the damn comment loses the virtual keyboard.
If this happens at just wrong moment, you try to type the next letter with no keyboard and boom! The whole comment gets deleted.
Never noticed it anywhere else.

Hey history guy Ty for they great content

[bforman]

Anthropology classes use it as an example of inbreeding.

[VrillonAura]

Wow I need to emigrate there too crowded in the UK

[Blaqjaqshellaq]

In the early 1960s they had to evacuate the island when its volcano erupted. But most of the residents eventually returned...

[garypulliam]

I invaded that island in the 1990s and declared myself ruler and sovereign over the island and set up a new one-person government and re-named it Garyland. Nobody seemed to care, and certainly no task force was sent to expel me. I ruled for two years before I had to return home for graduate school.

[johnbuckner]

When you want to get away from it all!!!!

[ramseydoon]

How did the citizens' unfamiliarity with currency impact a radio station meant to search for German u-boats?

[josephmcnulty]

Territory of Great Britain, unbelievable

[mikeottersole]

Is it too late to corner the butter and sour cream market? Chives?
