OK, how many continents are there and what are they? The only useful thing Google turned up[1] was that only 15% of people in the UK are able to name all seven continents. It neglected to say what they were. I get America, Europe, Asia, Antartica and Africa. I'd thought Oceania was a sixth but I'm reliably informed that it and Asia are Australasia (unless you're American). And from the look of the world map on the wall in the office[2], there is is a ridge connecting Australia to Asia so that sounds reasonable. So, what's 6 and 7 then? :-) [1] http://www.parents.org.uk/index.html?news_continents.htm&2 [2] What are we doing tonight, Pinky? -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "If you ever need anything please don't http://www.wossname.org.uk/~mathie/ hesitate to ask someone else first.
