I wish it was April 1st -but unfortunately this seems to be true.

Nicaragua invaded Costa Rica because they saw a map in Google and thought Costa Rica and made a land grab. SO in goes the army - and low and behold - who could have ever thought that something on the net is WRONG - but it appears the data Google uses to display maps was wrong.

Glad they didn't have a nuke to fix that boundary 'error'...
