Actually there is no universal definition of what is and is not a continent, so while in North America we "correctly" learn that North America and South America are two seperate continents, most places on Earth teach, again "correctly" that they are one continent- America.
Also Europe is and is not part of Eurasasia, and Africa is and is not part of Afro-Eurasia. Its also debatable whether or not Antarctica is a continent, since technically its a series of small islands that are just frozen together.

Actually, the truth is easy to determine - whatever contradicts the happy little continent song they made me memorize in kindergarten is obviously wrong.Actually there is no universal definition of what is and is not a continent, so while in North America we "correctly" learn that North America and South America are two seperate continents, most places on Earth teach, again "correctly" that they are one continent- America.

That's countries, not continents. But yeah, these days kids don't realize why "Germany, now in one piece" was worth noting.
I realize that, but how often do I get an excuse to post Yakko's World?
Not enough.
I find it pretty cool how much has changed from the relatively short time ago that song was made to now. "Both Yemens," for instance, and number of countries that either aren't in there because they're new, or are in there and no longer exist as they were.
I'm really not one for selfies, but after a 60-minute yoga class and a 30-minute jog on the treadmill (nearly ran 2 miles), I was feeling pretty damn good about myself. My goal is to slim down enough to confidently wear my Superman belt buckle again, but I'm not quite there. Not yet. And as I just posted in the Epic Win thread, I'm down about 15-20 pounds, down to a slimmer 220.

And the mountains aren't bad either!
Goddamn, that's a great view, man.

I'm sorry, but the previous post has been rated too damn sexy.I'm really not one for selfies, but after a 60-minute yoga class and a 30-minute jog on the treadmill (nearly ran 2 miles), I was feeling pretty damn good about myself.

You get turned on by Chad's pontificating about the countries of the world?

I suggest you start slow. Don't go straight to selfies. Try taking a picture of what you had for lunch instead.

Are you ready for the smoulder? Because here comes the smoulder.

I have returned from Hong Kong!
Here's me at the mid-autumn festival!
That thing behind me was really cool. It was all made from recycled bottles?
