Hahahaha - nearly wet myself reading that !! I suppose you're referring to
the famous zone list here:

http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/wazlist.html

I was thinking of starting a small competition to spot how many errors there
are on that page. I've counted 20+ so far. Have sent two emails to  "Paul
Blumhardt" k5rt at attbi.com the guy who is supposed to be in charge of this,
but both were ignored. Some changes have been made recently, but there's
still plenty to go.
