| 767107 | 2009-04-21 21:39:00 | TV3 have thoughtfully created a new continent, to which they can banish Tony Veitch, since they seem to hate him more than Hitler... | Peterj116 (6762) | ||
| 767108 | 2009-04-21 21:40:00 | From Wiki. A continent is one of several large landmasses (en.wikipedia.org) on Earth (en.wikipedia.org). They are generally identified by convention (en.wikipedia.org) rather than any strict criteria, with seven regions commonly regarded as continents – they are (from largest in size to smallest): Asia (en.wikipedia.org), Africa (en.wikipedia.org), North America (en.wikipedia.org), South America (en.wikipedia.org), Antarctica (en.wikipedia.org), Europe (en.wikipedia.org), and Australia (en.wikipedia.org).[1] (en.wikipedia.org) The seven-continent model is usually taught in Western Europe, Northern Europe, Central Europe, Southeastern Europe, China and most English-speaking countries. The six-continent combined-Eurasia model is preferred by the geographic community, Russia, Eastern Europe, and Japan. The six-continent combined-America model is taught in Latin America, and some parts of Europe including Greece, Portugal and Spain. This model may be taught to include only the five inhabited continents (excluding Antarctica)[20][21] — as depicted in the Olympic logo.[22] Pretty sure when I was at school there were six. |

| 767110 | 2009-04-22 00:15:00 | TV1 news last night had a reporter in Fiji, she was saying how cool their technology was being able to report news from that place. She then said she tried to get some news to report only to be turned away. All in all a one minute report about the fact they couldnt get any news, at least they were able to tell us about it. |

Isn't there some saying something like "no news is good news" It sounds good to me. |

| 767112 | 2009-04-22 01:27:00 | They should have a law that says something like if you havent got anything worth report dont report at all. Then we would only news once a year. | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or are just plain dumb. |
