My thought is if a person understands what another person is saying or righting...err...writing...

then it truly doesn't matter if the "I's" aren't dotted or the "T's" not crossed.

The message far exceeds the etiquette of relaying it.

What in the video-world does Asia (other than being a fellow continent) have to do with Antarctica?

They both start with an "A" and ends in an "A?"

Let's add Australia and Africa too! ;) I'd add America if North and South wasn't in front of it.

:doh:

Sammy, I'm forwarding you a month's supply of my milk-money.

I'm not kidding and I don't use wiki to know that Antarctica is planet Earth's largest continent, dude.

Asia is ranked number one but have you ever looked at a globe?

The next time you do, turn the globe upside down to see the largest land mass (continent)

;)

1. Asia - (44,579,000 sq km)

2. Africa - (30,065,000 sq km)

3. North America - (24,256,000 sq km)

4. South America - (17,819,000 sq km)

5. Antarctica - (13,209,000 sq km)

6. Europe - (9,938,000 sq km)

7. Australia/Oceania - (7,687,000 sq km)

Am I missing something? :confused:

...or has Asia gone the way of the ex-planet Pluto?

My National Geographic atlas circa '94 clearly shows via sattelites the largest land masses surrounding the blue ball that you're currently sitting on.

Antarctica shows up as being the largest land mass frozen or otherwise.

If National Geographic is wrong then so am I.

Let me guess, you're looking at a map and Antarctica covers the whole bottom, looking largest. With 2-D maps, the higher the latitude, the more stretched out land masses look. This is just a consequence of rolling a sphere onto a flat surface.

Spare me the physics.

My statement, and National Geographic, knows otherwise.

But hey, people once swore that the Earth was at the center of the universe. People were killed if they thought otherwise.

My globe analogy is the simplest way to prove what's the largest land mass (continent)
