# Well presumabley they're trying to show how big Africa is
but comparing it to countries is a bit silly IMO, surely they should compare it to other continents?
It's like comparing the size of laptops in terms of mobile phones.
Eh, I'm probably wrong.

# hmm, you could have Austrailia
in there, Argentina was an odd inclusion (though I'm surprised by how big it is.)
It could have been done better. But Africa is a huge place, I think Lake victoria is the size of the UK. (though I may have got that bit of information from a pub quiz)

A friend from Wales was chatting to some one in the states who said "Wales is that near Brazil?"
