As depicted in the link above, the world should be viewed from space with New Zealand on top. I mean, look at all that land area and weight just sitting there. Natural physics dictates that the heaviest part of the earth MUST drop to the bottom :) |

| 867840 | 2010-03-17 01:48:00 | I used to have a tea towel with NZ at the centre of a world map. It was so popular that press-ganged dish-dryers always reached for that one first. So it wore out faster than the rest, alas - and was ignominiously recycled into a cleaning rag. |

Actually a lot of British tourists were there that day and they gave me a standing ovation. The museum guards however were not as pleased. |
