The Men Who Stare at Goats

It probably was making fun of that to some extent too.

Escher is always awe worthy. And, the main site.

wtf is up with the idea of pangea, i mean if you look at the map, the continents DO look like they would fit together, but wtf is up with antarctica, where the hell does that fit on the whole thin @.@

@Earowo: Antarctica is made up of ice. It has about no land at all.

Geography Fail!!

How is that a fail? Antarctica is 98% ice. http://www.gma.org/surfing/antarctica/antarctica.html Even gma.org knows that.

To quote from your source "a continent as big as the United States and Mexico combined"; also "Although 98% of Antarctica is ice, there is land underneath the ice cover"
That's quite a chunk of land (area).

 I'm fairly sure we need more awesome pictures to inebriate the toasty geography discussion.

This one's more of a cute picture.

[Geoni]

lol this philosoraptor guy is inspiring.

Oh, and @Addeline: I never said there was no land in Antarctica, I said there was like...hardly any land.

@ Geoni:

A continent is much more than just its surface. And this statement does not only belong to a continent...

[verden]

Antarctica is a continent, its several very large pieces of land mashed together and covered by ice. Geography: 2, Geoni: 0.

Here you go, you see Antarctica as the landmass furthest south.

[Geoni]

lol we need a thread just for arguing.

@Everybodeeeee: If land is considered anything that is an above water solid, then I suppose I lose this one.

[verden]

My cat is solid, and above water, but it doesn't count as land, because its a cat. Oh, and from the way you are talking about Antarctica, you mean the Arctic.
