    This could be a stretch, but I wondering if we can put this as a Sticky. It would be great if this pool can be open for a long period to allow new members to vote as well.

    Haha, that's a good idea, but I think I'll let firmbeliever do that since it's his thread.

    I'm from Scandinavia, i.e. Europe, LOL although we Scandinavians like to think that Scandinavia is a continent of its own ;)

    Stickies are for information that is pertinent to a specific forum. Usually a thread is made a sticky because the info in the thread answers many of the questions usually posted in that forum.

    This is a great thread, but, as a poll, for fun, it's not really something that would help anyone.

    As for the thread being open for a long time. It will either last until 1500 posts or until the mods close it.

    That's what I thought. That's why I mentioned that it's a "stretch".

    40 votes so far, not bad.

    Why do you think I have hot chick as my avy? Anything else and I get the "thank you sir for your help" post.

    It's just too hard to explain. ;)

    Just when I thought I knew, someone changed the rules.

    There can be 4 to 7 continents depending on where you were. i.e. where you were taught.

    Continent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I give up! Where am I?

    Ooh! I forgot Antarctica,
    We were taught in school that was a continent.


    EDIT::
    Anyone from Antarctica?
  • Oct 4, 2009, 07:43 PM

    I still would have split North and South America.

    Edit: Antarctica ---- I was wondering where that goes too. I guess Oceania.

    Should we create a new poll? :D

    How many chose not to vote after reading that their spelling, grammar and punctuation were a sign of intelligence or attitude? I would have chosen not to vote if math had been part of the criticizm.

    Can I have some barbecue sauce to go with my politically incorrect foot now, please? Ooops! That should have been "may I." Now I'm worried that the quotation marks are wrongly placed...

    I voted. I'm in Ohio. That's a continent I'm told. You know, the one similar to the Artic.

    You're not insignificant. I think that we just need to get more voters out.

    Unfortunately, this thread is now old and archived and not generally visible on the daily listings, unless someone happens to visit the forum topic area where it's located, or is notified that there's activity on it because they've already posted on it.

    I agree! A little over 50 votes really wasn't very many!

    Perhaps a new thread asking the same question should be started?

    After I bumped it, we got 4 more votes.

    Here's another "bump", then.

    Here also, are some words and sentences to help to draw people to it when they do searches on the Internet.

    Where in the world are you?

    Finding your place in the world.

    World geography.

    People of the Earth.

    Nations united.

    Separate, yet united on the planet Earth.
