I tweeted this, but it's huge enough to annoy those who follow me by repeating it here for those who don't.


WTF!? They keep taking away what they taught me in school! First they take Pluto, now the Amazon is longer than the Nile... what's next? Sound is faster than light? Eating earthworms isn't bad for you?!

That's neat, ever changing world eh?

 

I'll tell you one thing:

Dave was PISSED when it was confirmed the Earth was round.

I'll tell you one thing:

Dave was PISSED when it was confirmed the Earth was round.

What about when he found out the Earth revolves around the sun? He kept shouting "Heretic" this and "Heretic" that.

At least he mellowed out a bit as he got older though. You should've seen him during the Crusades, he was kicking ass left and right. That man can wield a mace like it's an extension of his own body.

Is this real? 'Cause that story is over two years old and I've never heard anything about this anywhere else.

Well yeah, he still remembers the day that God introduced light. Man, that was a hell of a party.

Ah yes, I remember him complaining about that new punk "God" moving in on his turf.

The Nile is still listed on Wikipedia as the longest, and we all know the unassailable bastion of truth that is wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rivers_by_length

Scientists are at a debate whether the longest river in the world is the Amazon or the Nile. Traditionally, the Nile has been considered the longer river, but recent information might point towards the Amazon possibly being the longer one of the two rivers. Differences in the recorded length of the Amazon mainly depend on whether or not it is valid to take a course south of the Ilha de Marajó at the Amazon's mouth. New evidence, (dated Saturday 16 June 2007) obtained from a high-altitude scientific venture in the Andes, claims that \"the Amazon is longer than the Nile by 100km, with its longest headwater being the Carhuasanta stream originating in the south of Peru on the Nevado Mismi mountain's northern slopes and flowing into the Río Apurímac\"[5]
