Russia joins Europe
In its latest surprise move, Google has annexed Russia to Europe.
While the news has not been officially announced yet, users of Google’s new Analytics program can have a sneak preview of the revised boundaries of Europe.
Google have issued a statement saying that this move was in response to the demand that they provide a separate search engine for the Russian region.
“Rather than develop a separate engine, we decided it would be easier to move Russia into Europe” they said in a statement today.
When contacted by our reporter, the United Nations stated that they had received mixed opinions on the annexation.
“The peoples of the kamchatka Peninsula are very happy with developments, but there is some unease in Mongolia at their omission” said a spokesman.
“Leaders in the Old Europe were initially cautious, but have decided to invite Russia to join the European Union in 2020, subject to the usual conditions” the statement ended.

Looks like google have seen the future.
No less than two factories in my home town have relocated to China including my former employer.
Well at least he food will improve.
Curried bacon and cabbage!!!!
You know Google has designs or world domination?
Imagine those two ugly bastards that own it ruling the world. I’d nearly take Mao over them.
Cold cabbage soup – yum!
Poor old George W must be feeling a bit outnumbered though!!
Can you imagine Eurovision on a Saturday evening?
“Good tomorrow, Vladivostok”.
“Good yesterday, Helsinki”.
I did feel a bit sorry for Google. If they had left Russia out, they would have been criticised. If they had drawn a line at the Urals, it would have been west of Kazakstan, which, despite bounding China, is a member of UEFA. Only one option – take the lot.
We could move to the Eurasianvision song contest.
I bet Larry and Sergey, the founders of Google, run around the Google complex singing “We are the World”, by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie.
And yes, I’d say Bush is starting to get a wee bit spooked. 🙂
