the contested area for india and pakistan was 8 pixels

but india and pakistan having completely pointless spats over borders is basically part of their cultural heritage at this point (see also the thousands dead, mostly due to the elements, to get as much land of the siachen glacier as possible, which has zero natural resources or value whatsoever but there's no loving way we're going to let those other guys have it :argh:)

google drew a line wrong between nicaragua and costa rica that caused both countries to call up troops

countries flip out when anything sorta official looking makes claims about touchy borders

lol Ruby on Rails had the same kind of thing happen and moved its country support out of the Rails library and left it to community. Can't find the "why" article though http://koziarski.net/archives/2008/9/24/countries-and-controversies/ (i think it was china/taiwan argument)

In an interview with Urban View host Karen Hunter Wednesday, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson recounted a story about being held up at gunpoint at a Popeyes.

“Guy comes in, puts the gun to my ribs and I just said, ‘I believe that you want the guy behind the counter,'” Carson recalled.
