The Seeker Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 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) Ok, if you'll only believe National Geographic, then this National Geographic site calls Antarctica the 5th largest continent and National Geographic Kids calls Asia the largest continent.

MuzikTyme Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Fine... I'm burning the atlas that cost a bit of money because I could show each and every one of you at least twenty different photo shots and angles of Earth's largest land-mass. My atlas means nothing to y'all but being a novice cartographer I'm more disappointed than mad at those that don't even know what a compass is. The pages of my useless National Geographic atlas burns freely in the wind. Why? Because what I learned from it is filed in my brain. Those of you that question my knowledge of planet earth and its land seas air and downright foolishness should go ahead and pat themself on the back Galileo himself stated that the voice of a mob has no sense so why bother to argue? I'm not gonna argue anymore. I say Antarctica is the largest land mass inhabiting the planet Earth. Y'all say different. Cool! It's done...let's move on.

miamisammy29 Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 Okay, Muzik, we'll let your argument stand. But you're gonna take a beating on that Jeff Foxworthy game show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 the difference in perception probably comes from different projections used in maps... the picture I posted above is a so called Dymaxion map, you in turn maybe have a Mercartor projection in mind, where Antarctica really looks like the largest continent. There are numerous other possible projection types too, all have or had their advantages and disadvantages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 We're debating a fact. If that doesn't make you lose a little more faith in humanity, look to your right: Half the daily top 10 is Lady Gaga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 How does one go into debating a fact? Sure, people can debate about 2+2=4 but it'd be kinda silly, wouldn't it? look to your right What does "look to my right" have to do with anything? Does this mean that left-handed people are doomed?

Steel2Velvet Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Tim is referring to the Weekly Top Ten feature of the site, Muzik. It is located in the far right hand column of this page. For some reason, Lady Gaga is holding down 5 of the 10 spots. Kind of an oddity, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 I suppose the matter of having one's gears ground is fully subjective and would therefore contain no definitive requirements. So, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hey, Muzik man. I don't think anyone here is offended or upset by anything you have said about Antarctica. I really imagine most folks don't plan on vacationing there anytime soon anyway, so hardly give a rat's behind. From what I read, people just wanted to steer you right. And that's what friends are for.... hey, sounds like a song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 S2V Your words are like a dew-drop sliding down a cool mint leaf. Your words, IMO, are music. Nice that Songfacts has a resident poet; Steel 2 Velvet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Laurie_ Posted January 23, 2010 Report Share Posted January 23, 2010 Shawna, my PC got attacked by that same insidious virus a few weeks ago. I spent days trying to remove it with various tools until a friend told me to go to a site and download MALWAREBYTES. I did so and it removed the virus for good on the first try. Here's the site...go and download the FREE vesiion. MALWAREBYTES Thank You Joe!....my pc was acting up so I thought I would give this a try....my computers was freezing up alot and it kept on signing me on over and over again...it was going crazy...this scan found 8 infected files, and now it's running great again!

Heimann47 Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 I'm rather upset with the fact that once I was of age, I willingly volunteered my life for the defense of America, but I still can't have a drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
