Once upon a time in a mythical land called Iberia there were two kings who both wanted to rule the world. Because both of the kings had just found out that the world included more things than just the Mediterranean, they had to decide which parts of the world each king would rule. So they closed their eyes and pick a spot on the globe and agreed that Portugal should everything “east of” that point, and Spain should get everything “west of” it (note, if anyone can explain the concept of “everything east of” and “everything west of” on a spherical planet, it would make me very happy). Voila! Treaty of Tordesillas.

I think Harvard and Yale have agreed to do the same thing, only instead of choosing some random part of Brazil as their dividing line, they chose the China Sea. Everyone knows Ricky Lev loves going over to China and India (in real life! Not just on Orange Street, where China and India collide at the wall between Thali and Royal Palace!) and wining and dining the nascent billionaires. And now, our friends at FlyByBlog are reporting that the Queen of the Cantabs, Drew Faust, has laid claim to Japan. Given the close proximity of Japan to China, and the fact that Korea is kind of in between them, analysts at the Bullblog HQ are putting the exact hinge point somewhere in the vicinity of Pusan.

This means that we can expect the most likely site of Faust’s next visitation is either Hawaii or Vanuatu—or at an undersea colony of super-intelligent dolphins.
