    I don't know what ALL the letters stand for, but they refer to provinces and such, including Punjab and Kashmir.
    Doesn't Pakistan mean "Home of NYC cab drivers"? LOL

    Heyyyyyyy Arkon! Ya got part of it......good goin'! [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img]

    Here's the whole thing:

    According to the Encyclopaedia Britannica (15th ed.) PAKISTAN is an acronym for the five Northern units of India - Punjab, North-West Frontier (Afghan) Province, Kashmir, Sind and Baluchistan, and was coined in 1933 by Choudhary Rahmat Ali (1895-1951). However, according to the World Book Encyclopedia (1976), Pakistan means "land of the pure" in Urdu [Charles Turner].

    This is fun! hehehe........ [img]graemlins/party.gif[/img]

    A year on Mars is 687 days. Which means on Mars, we'd only be about half as old as we are here!
