          It’s the most advanced radar system in the world, but inexplicably it’s only used to monitor Iowa Ontario…

          Most of Canada’s corn is grown in Ontario.

        It’s just a great word. “joooooooooorn”. Plus the images would undoubtedly be referred to as “jornography” which is just grand.

          I’m going to start jornhub, so people can start uploading their jornporn to the jorncloud.

            So jornhub and the other related site would both be Canadian. Great success!

        Can’t tell if your referring to jorn in relation to meme or why ‘jorn’ is so good.

        Jorn is the Jindallee over the horizon radar network.

        Not sure exactly how it works, but someone put up a big array of radar transmitters and receivers in the outback and it might use the HF band like Ham radio users use to bounce off the ionosphere to get returns.
