Here's a story for you. Long, long ago, a seafaring chieftain saw land ahead, and told his two sons that he'd give this lovely place to the first one to lay a hand on it. They set out in separate boats and rowed ashore furiously, and one of them took the lead. The other son drew his sword, cut off his hand, and tossed it ashore, winning ownership for himself.
