   No, no, no, it's "Cocos" Islands.  They're southwest
   of Indonesia, and administered by Australia (also
   called the Keeling Islands).  IIRC they were uninhabited
   before the British came in the 1820s.  So does this
   mean they need to be under .loc.au?  :)

   The *Chocos* Islands, on the other hand, are where those
   Cocoa Puff birds (with their distinctive "I'm cuckoo
   for Cocoa Puffs" cry) come from.

   Here endeth, the lesson.
