Where does this lunacy end ? [View all]

Responding to Trump’s proclamation, Google has changed their maps from Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.

Can he rename the planets? Will Uranus become Steve Bannon? How about the Periodic Table? Will he change gold from AU to DJT, atomic weight about 350? Would chemists complain?

Are units of length safe? Will the foot now be the length of Trump’s actual foot?

Feel free to join in.
