Something a bit different is combining the idea of locating things (in this case countries) with Tetris to make it more interesting. Countries or small [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I bet conspiracy theorists have a field day with this site. It&#8217;s obviously meant to secretly track people (yeah right!). Anyway I thought all notes had small metal implants that could be watched from space&#8230;Or am I confusing those with the small metal implants in noses or teeth put there by aliens?
