To all students doing research on Hoobah Boobah Land

Dear Students:

I'm sure that you already know most of the vocabulary words you encounter ('encounter' is a synonym of 'find') on this website. But on the off chance you don't understand a word, use the context clues reading strategy to make a good guess at the word's meaning. For example, in this sentence The Danish navy obliterated the Hoobah Boobah navy in the late 1700's, you could probably guess that 'obliterate' means to cause damage or harm, because, after all, that is what navies do to one another. That is close enough to the real meaning of the word to understand the sentence, so you could then move on with your study and research on Hoobah Boobah Land.

Actually, 'obliterate' means to destroy completely, which is what the Danish navy did to the H.B.L. navy just a little over 200 years ago.

Hoobah Boobah Land is an excellent research topic! Good choice!

97% of Hoobah Boobahns 18 and older report themselves "extremely happy"

In a recent public opinion survey, over 97% of all Hoobah Boobahns aged 18 to 72 reported themselves "extremely happy" or "ecstatic" with their lives. This is far higher than the proportion of "extremely happy" adults in almost all other countries, and makes Hoobah Boobah Land possibly the happiest nation on earth. 2% said they were merely "happy"; .75% said they were happy "most of the time"; only .25% said they were "unhappy" more than half the time.

This result is remarkable for many reasons. Hoobah Boobahns cannot vote or otherwise participate in governmental decision-making. Most consumer goods are unheard of, or non-existent. And while the country is warmer than the rest of Antarctica, it is hardly balmy, with a yearly average temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

Welcome To Hoobah Boobah Land!

It's a great day! The government of His Most Royal Highness King Ralph VI has at last given consent for an internet source for history, culture, and tourism of one of the world's least well understood and most underappreciated nations, Hoobah Boobah Land. From this point onward, this will be the only place on the internet for all things related to this kingdom, the only sovereign nation on the continent of Antarctica.If you're as happy as I am, express your appreciation here.



Sincerely,
Dan Schorr
