I don’t get it.

It’s a dirty joke.

Wang is the romanisation of a very common Chinese name 王 WĂĄng, and also the less common æ±Ș Wāng.

However, wang is also American slang for the p*nis, Uncle Wang’s “ruler”. It’s suggested that that sense may derive from a word whangdoodle used in American poetry ca. 1856, a “whimsical monster”.

So the box in the picture is an actual go game and the joke is just about the name?

Sorry, I wouldn’t call Earth “settled” yet. Although most of the big places are taken (except Antarctica?), there is still a lot of fighting around the boundaries, with reductions and invasions going on.

There’s still a lot of empty space: Alaska, the Sahara, Mongolia, almost all of Australia


Australia has three people / sq. km, Canada has four, Russia has nine, Brazil has 25, and the contiguous USA has about a hundred. Earth as a whole (land only, without Antarctica) has around 150.

England, where I live, has about 430


How should we define unsettled in terms of population density? < 100 people / sq. km? In that case, somewhat over half of the world’s countries qualify.


Hmm. Excluding Antarctica, there are about 135,000,000 sq. km of land. An approach could be taken to divide this into, say, 27 zones of 5,000,000 sq. km each and use those as standard density measures. In comparison, the contiguous USA is about 3,000,000 sq. km. The zones with < 50 ppl. / sq. km could be regarded as unsettled.

This saddens me. How hard is it to throw on a copy of Gnugo? Especially when you already have the graphics work done for the Gomoku game?!?.

I see nothing—only a deep nothingness between the weird reversible Go stones and Shogi.

You’re right. Must have missed it. I think I’ll see if I can find a larger image of this.
