I have a map from 1840 that shows it in the right place. My 1798 map has Antarctica as "Terra Austraulas " and it has New Zealand in the right spot.

Suriname and Principals

I remember that from geography.
The African countries are hard to remember.
Two congos, lots of name changes.

What if it's Atlantis and that's where the missing Malaysian plane went.

It’s like you people never heard of the geologic phenomenon of Continental Drift.

It’s real and that globe is an excellent example of what happens when you’re not paying attention.

Dr. Pectus can probably shed more research on the matter.

He insists he *never* played a genie in anything. This was made as an April fools joke, but it’s not real.

You mean marketing. These globe and map manufacturers need to change stuff every so often to force people to buy them. It's just like when a professional sports team changes uniforms. Or an athlete changes numbers. When you and I were in school there was no South ocean. But there is now.

You get you geography info from a stoner movie? It’s never been west of Australia, in fact, it’s always been where it is
