A "B" in geo, and after reading;

A) south-east of Indonesia
B) north of Antarctica
C) the size of the USA

...you reply with "Is it in England?"

And you are welcome...

Also, notice I said America (the country) not North America (the continent). Minus Alaska, the USA is about the same size...

uhhhhhhhhhhh... i was meaning the country.


even without alaska... its bigger than australia. Just from looking at a map you can tell australia can easily fit within north america and is there for smaller. even cut it out and paste it on top of the US... bigger.

 

[Retuks]

If its any consolation...I'm English and i knew exactly what the guy meant by 'oz' and understood what he meant about land mass etc.....i think this proves that either you guys are naive or you just don't read posts properly.

I used to be a British citizen too and read what goes on in the world daily. ive yet to see a paper or news reporter tell me "whaz crackin in Oz"

Seriously, no one has heard the term "Oz" before?

Okay Retuks, get yourself a map. Look at what's south-east of Indonesia and north of Antarctica...a rather large island, which would be Australia. There are many continents and landmasses in this space?

Also, notice I said America (the country) not North America (the continent). Minus Alaska, the USA is about the same size...

I think only Ozzies have heard the term "Oz"

I think only Ozzies have heard the term "Oz"

that, and people who've heard the term... which by no means anyone is required to know nor taught in school.

Its not that "Americans" don't know. just the new generation within the last 35 years or so. because guess what happened within the past 35 years? the 70s... the 80s... and then they had kids.

hell. has any of you watched that commercial of Jay Lenno where he goes about asking American college students a few historical questions that they completely FAIL to answer?

he pointed to an American flag and asked one girl how many stars where on the USA flag and she says "Its waving too fast for me to count"

The term "Oz" originated in Britain. Just so you know.

Yes Retuks, mainland America is slighty bigger than Aus. Instead of looking at a equator-centric map and saying "obviously" perhaps you should do some math...

The difference is about 300,000 km2, (about 3/4 the size of California...). I said "the size of mainland America." because saying "The size of mainland America, not counting Alaska and Hawaii, plus 286,710 km2" would be really, really stupid.


My point about the size was a vague, joking hint to the size of the island, you have somehow missed this, please for the sake of intelligent discussion just drop this nonsense, or continue in PM if you want to argue.

Well its not like the english being smart is a well known fact or anything. lol. When i first moved to the US. i could barely understand what they were saying. but even when i was in the UK i STILL couldn't understand everything.

nobodies perfect. and the english? surely not

Taken from Wiki...# ^ Oz is often taken as an oblique reference to the fictional Land of Oz in the film The Wizard of Oz (1939), based on L. Frank Baum's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (1900).[115] Australians' "image of Australia as a 'Land of Oz' is not new, and dedication to it runs deep".[116] The spelling Oz is likely to have been influenced by the 1939 film, though the pronunciation was probably always with a /z/, as it is also for Aussie, sometimes spelt Ozzie.[117] The Baz Luhrmann film Australia (2008) makes repeated reference to The Wizard of Oz, which appeared just before the wartime action of Australia. One reviewer writes: "You even nod with approval at Luhrmann's audacity for cribbing from 'The Wizard of Oz' in his depiction of his Land of Oz, Australia, as a magical place over the rainbow."[118] Some critics have even speculated that Baum was inspired by Australia, in naming the Land of Oz: "In Ozma of Oz (1907) Dorothy gets back to Oz as the result of a storm at sea while she and Uncle Henry are traveling by ship to Australia. So, like Australia, Oz is somewhere to the west of California. Like Australia, Oz is an island continent. Like Australia, Oz has inhabited regions bordering on a great desert. One might almost imagine that Baum intended Oz to be Australia, or perhaps a magical land in the center of the great Australian desert."[119]



Now,Oz debate aside as I want the OP to answer for his/her statement on the RD situation here( more so for the list that was pasted.) Again to the OP, why is RD listed in your cut and paste list but not in the list provided by their web site??

Actually, I have a third word...logorrhea...

It refers to an excessive and pointless deluge of words.

Looks like this is the end of the road in Wizard of Oz with Dorothy and Toto.
