The problem is that there isn't an official definition of an island vs a continent. Australia is right in the middle of the two in size, so is it an island, a continent, or an island-continent? I tend to go with the later....

 

For example, <a href="http://www.graphicmaps.com/aatlas/infopage/islands.htm" target="_blank">http://www.graphicmaps.com/aatlas/infopage/islands.htm</a> lists Greenland as the largest island, but then concedes in the note that Australia is an island and is larger.

 

<a href="http://geography.about.com/library/faq/blqzlargeisland.htm" target="_blank">http://geography.about.com/library/faq/blqzlargeisland.htm</a> also says that Greenland is the largest, and argues that Australia is large enough to be a continent, but they don't indicate how they picked "large enough".

 

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_islands_by_area" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_islands_by_area</a> has it both ways -- saying that Australia is a continent, but is sometimes called "The Island Continent".

 

To summarise, the general consensus is that Greenland is the largest island and Australia is the smallest continent, but since there are no formal definition of what distinguishing an island from a continent, I'm going with Australia as The Island Continent, and graciously allow Greenland to be the largest island that isn't also a continent... :P

 

Okay, i'm officially confused! :wacko:

Yikes :blink: I may have missed a day or two of jokes, thus letting the post count fall by a smidgen or two.

 

So here is some quick ones to make up for the absence of jokes.

 

Feel free to groan out loud at these:

 

What do you call an unemployed goat?

Billy Idol

 

What do you call a goat swimming in the ocean?

Billy Ocean

 

 

What do you call the best "butter" on the farm?

goat

 

 

Well, I'm running low on goat jokes, so I'll continue to search out, and see what I can find.

 

Have a great day

This is what we get for not having an official definition of what is an island. Defining an island as a landmass that isn't a continent that is surrounded by water just defers the problem to defining what is a continent. On Earth, you can define the continents by listing them, but once we find the first extra-terrestrial world with oceans and landmasses, the problem will re-appear. This is why there was so much debate recently on what is a planet. They weren't so much concerned as to our solar system, but other solar systems. Without some reasonably clear definition, working out how many planets other solar systems have (with potential naming rights) would be a nightmare.

 

We need to get a move on, everyone! CJ will probably be signing in again soon, and we need to get this thread to 200 posts before then....

Welcome, rbenn5! Now for the tough question -- are you a Caprican or a member of The Herd?

 

No need to answer immediately... wait until you get the best offer ;)

Graeme, you want him to choose "a member of the Herd" right, LOL 0:)

My wishes are irrelevant. It's up to him if he would prefer to be a Caprican or part of The Herd.
