Jesus I didn't realise it was that big!
It's a ridiculous comparison. It's comparing countries with a whole continent. Personally, I think this post belongs in the HOS.
There's nothing sickens me more than when some retarded ignoramus refers to Africa as a country. I'm not suggesting the op is one of those, but it's almost as bad.
From a fucking Mod too, jesus. Sack the cunt.
There are 3 types of people in the world - those who make things happen, those who watch things happen; and those who wondered what happened.

Big is not always better.... Take Fat people for example.
Push down Taps, you know it makes sense. Wash Them.
And this was done by Kai Krause. fuck me has he failed from doing what he used to do to bollocks like this.
Pah to you too...have you actually read the text?
Even the writer states that his is an "extreme example" its just illustating how far off students are in estimating the relative sizes of countries and land masses!!
Africa is used just as a particular illustration of gross underestimation of its size as a land mass!
Its also to do with how much the Mercator projection distorts Africas size in relation to say Greenland and its upon maps such as this that many students base their guesses.
Here Greenland and Africa look roughly the same size...Africa is actually 14 times larger than Greenland.

Rubbish. If thats the case, why not just show an atlas with Africa the same size as Greenland, then compare that with an atlas with Africa 14 times the size of Greenland? That would have a much better and more worthy impact.
Instead we're presented with a map of a continent containing lots of countries. Like any fucking map of a continent should do.
Again, it's utter bollocks.
That is a more true representation of land mass size...however no atlas represents countries/ continents in this way!
