You still had room for a bit of the EU.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

The U.S, India, and China are countries, Africa a continent. I fail to understand why claiming that 3 countries can fit into a continent warrants a thread topic. If one were going to create a thread pertaining to continent size, maybe Asia ought to be the subject.

It's a thread about an interactive map, sorry I confused everyone.

Jeeze, what is with all the free floating aggression? Its a cool map that helps visualize the distortions that come with different map projections. Drag Greenland south for instance. Its not politics or whatever.

This is clearly a blatant rip-off of Three C P 1's classic program "What Fits Into Russia".

Sure is a good thing he pointed that out Drediock. I mean who knew! Christ you guys are stuck on Africa. Had I known Africa would've diddlyed up so many readers I would've used a different continent as an example. Place is turning into yahoo comments section.
