ok, so i'm sitting at the bar with this guy from Texas and, (suprise, suprise) he's bragging.

he says "just to give you an idea of the size of my parents ranch, around noon one day, i fired up the bike at the house and road due north, non-stop, when the sun went down i still hadn't left my parents ranch."

i said  "ya, i had a bike like that once"

Since it is all relative, do you have a ranch the size of one of your States?  The King ranch, counting all the land, not just contigous, is close to two Rhode Islands.  Now Rhode Island is a pissant state, sure, but it is still a State.

  • Sounds like a completely defensive answer to me.  You must be from Canada.


I thought this was about Texas..not the great(very large) country of Canada. I see no foul. We need some basis for discussion. The intrisitic and inaliable value of size is a universal constant. They are to be stated. not proved. If you want to disprove a universal constant..this could get interesting.

well theres a station thats over 8 million acres, 500,000 - 750,000 acre properties are common. i'd have to check the size of tasmania and victoria BUT i know its bigger than our capital state, ACT. so we have a station that bigger than one state and maybe bigger than 2 more.

Tasmania is 68,400 square km in size. Cant be bothered converting to acres.

You've erred on so many levels with this statement.  Bigger itself implies that it can't be a constant without actually being bigger than another constant... thus you can't argue its constant.  Sheesh.

And you in no way state whether bigger is actually better or not.  This is a time tested statement: "Bigger is better"... it has been bandied around for some time now and carries validity simply by over use both in America (when talking about stupid Texans) or outside of America (when talking about stupid Texans).

Now, stick to the facts.

BTW... Australia is automatically disqualified because its inhabited by criminals.

 Dude you ain't lying.  Here in Austin there's a bunch of Cali (left coast :P) transplants.  I've never seen worse driving in my life.  I thought I'd never actualy say it, but I miss Houston traffic.  Nothing like seeing 1 million plus cars all moving.  Albeit slow 30-50 mph AT LEAST IT MOVES[/i][/u]
