Zuma versus Science

President Jacob Zuma has claimed that Africa is the biggest continent on earth, and that it is larger than all the other continents put together – science disagrees.
 
science will lose, it has to follow laws and rules.

the zuma does not.
 
He apparently has grade 3, which I think the ANC lied about in any event. Why listen to anything he says? My 2 year old refuse to listen to Zuma, says he is talking s**t everytime he speaks on TV.
 
“[Africa is] not separated even by a river. The rivers that are there flow with the continent – they don’t cut it into half, or quarter.”

I am also quite sure that he had the Dutch and Germans mixed up, also in context when it came to 'Founding' countries on the continent.

I hate to admit it, but he is not wrong.

If you were to excavate all land above sea level* except for Africa you can dump all of that into Africa. It will probably be a couple of kilometers high, but it will fit.

Not sure if our planets rotation will be the same though, this could throw us out of orbit, so probably not a good idea to try... :D


* let's ignore what happens with the lowering of the sea level, assume africa's borders stay the same as now

Are you saying Africa is larger than Asia ?

He just came with a far left field argument to actually support the ****. Why he would do that, nobody could know.

Really?
The things you say here make you mybb's equivalent of Zuma.
 
My apologies for facts. I know it has no place on mybb. But I thought I will take the chance anyway.
