Where is the Isle of Woman?

Random factoids I find interesting…

There is an Isle of Man but there is not an Isle of Woman. Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state and she holds the title, Lord of Mann. During the reign of Queen Victoria the title was switched to Lady of Man. Apparently, Elizabeth II can’t be bothered with such distinctions. Also, the flag of the Isle of Man is rather peculiar. I'm not sure how I feel about it. 3 legs? 3 manly legs? I don’t know what to make of it.
