Once there was like this big explosion that started everything. And this gigantic explosion caused so much heat that every drop of moisture was drawn up into the Cosmos in a thick blanket of water. As everything cooled the clouds released their load in a seemingly endless torrent. Every indentation was filled and when they burst their banks the water traced patterns across the landscape before filling the deepest holes to capacity. This caused the land to cool even more so that spores were released everywhere and greenery began to take hold and spread. Much later living organisms crawled out the waters and began a new life upon dry land. Over many millennium these organisms generated and re-generated until the land was filled with a multitude of living creatures. Some were able to live and walk upright upon dry ground while others of equal intelligence were confined to the waters. Those who could survive outside the waters and breathe of the air became known as humans. Those who crawled out the water later and walked on four legs were called animals. Anyway this is what we were taught and we have no reason not to believe this is true. So there was a group of humans who inhabited a piece of land that was surrounded by water and it became known as “I Land.” This only happened after Jack and Skee-Pee were confronted by Ooglee Booga who at the time owned this land. Skee-Pee: “So Ooglee-Booga me and my followers are going to settle here … okay?” Ooglee: “I don’t think so cos this is my land.” Skee-Pee walked up to Ooglee and hit him in the face with a large sharp stone. The blow caused both of Ooglee;s eyes to pop out his face and fall into the sand. Ooglee lay on the ground writhing in agony with blood pouring out his eye sockets. Skee-Pee: “Now this land is mine and from now on it will be known as “Eye-Land” because it was here that Ooglee lost his eyes.” So this place became known as “Eye-Land” then “I-Land” and much later as island.
Well Vladimir many eons later long after the event I described happened, it did become Ireland. But thats another story I'll write when someone's "ire" was provoked.
