Canada is 9,984,670 sq/km so Canada is 15 times bigger than Japan, even thought it has 3 times as many people. I think Japanese people would feel lost in Canada, that's why most Japanese people tend to live in Vancouver or Toronto.

Maybe people should spread out a little.

NOT less than half the size!

Quite right. Sorry. It's about three golf courses, a dog track, and a pub larger than half size.

(I really don't think the actual numbers are important here. It's the concept of calling itself small that was being spoken of.)

Of course the exact numbers are unimportant.

I just couldn't resist a pose of shocked outrage at your denigration of the geographic extent of Great Britain.

(Yes, joking again.)

Kenny is right - Don't do it!! For the sake of all that is good and holy, all that is crispy and fried, all that is round with a hole in the middle and covered in a sugary glaze do not join that forum!!!

If you choose to ignore our warnings make sure you bring a nice sturdy shovel, a good pair of hip waders, some Dr. Snakewaters' Troll Repellent, and have had your rabies vaccine.

the 2nd term has been going insane these days... We had nothing to do in the past few weeks, and all of a sudden the profs make us give 3 presentations in one week!
