I have been reminded that there is also some competition for 2010. A bunch of engaging lunatics from Rochester, NY want to hijack a ferry and run a pirate cruise around the Great Lakes. Needless to say, this is a hoax bid, but given how badly one or two of the Australians reacted to the Alcatraz in 1999 bid it is probably necessary to point out that it has no chance of winning, or indeed affecting the result in any way.

Given the number of flights needed to get (most) Worldcon attendees to Australia, maybe it *is* true what the Pastafarians say about pirates helping to reduce global warming…
Do I really need to put at the end of this?
I’d like to see the numbers on the comparative effect on carbon emissions of a couple of 747 flights from LA to Sydney as compared to a thousand Californians driving their cars to Reno.
