...Speaking of the Philippines, who else watched Miss Universe earlier tonight? Roll Eyes

Not me, I followed only, but Saturday I watched Miss France --Miss Tahiti this year-- and she is a very, very beautiful woman.

10 out of 15, with a few lucky guesses. Considering how little time I spend watching news-- or any television, for that matter-- I'm not too ashamed of this score, I would have needed one more correct answer to "pass" (70% +, going by my school system's rule; I got 67%, rounding to the nearest whole percentage point.)

It's good Nicholas, even with guesses, just good!

Compare the size of any two countries with this site.

https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/country-size-comparison/united-states/indonesia

Insert the names of any two countries you want to compare at the end of this URL. I chose United States vs. Indonesia because it's certainly one of the most surprising; while the USA covers five times the area of Indonesia, the latter's east-west extent actually outreaches that of the former (if you exclude Alaska and Hawaii). If you want to put Indonesia over Europe instead, try replacing United States with Germany. Either way, its east-west expanse is amazing. (although it "only" takes up three time zones)

Also try comparing Spain's size to some other Spanish-speaking countries, including Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and the largest one of all by area, Argentina. By European standards, Spain might seem really big (the second largest Western European nation by area, closely behind France), but place it on other continents and it doesn't seem to be that big of a country at all, especially when you consider how much area in the Americas it once controlled.

France vs. some of the francophone African nations presents some surprises as well. Try Mali, Niger, and especially the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

UK compared to Australia, India, or even Pakistan might amaze some of you Brits. I can see why there's never been an Australian Kart meet (that I know of)-- the population centers Down Under are just too far apart, particularly Perth. The country might as well be a group of islands. Good luck to anyone trying to drive the entirety of Australia National Route 1, and God help you if you have car trouble on the Nullarbor Plain...

>>The Treasure Behind the Wall ("Something in the new Oscar de la Renta boutique in Paris was not what it seemed")

^Must read for historians/antiquarians, or if you are just curious lol

The Next Mystery:

"It was very dark because of all the overpaint from earlier restorations and varnish", Mr. Janson said.

"I need to get a heraldic expert in to look at the ceiling" he said, sifting through photographs and pointing at some of the shields: "That one has three stars, a royal crown — and fish?"

"What do those three stars mean?" he wondered. "I don't know. But that's worth finding out." He looked excited.

"Shoppers with a yen for a conspiracy theory or a taste of history may be, too."

I guess;

.The three stars = the three wise men
.The royal crown = a king/queen
.The fish = Jesus Christ

I really love this boy's mentality. This video is proof that even if English is your native language, there is no excuse not to learn more languages. It's great for your brain (and has even been known to forestall the onset of Alzheimer's!) and it really opens your eyes to the world, and a new way of seeing it. It can even help you better understand your own language, as you can often see where words in your native language originate from (English really has a shit-ton of words that came from Latin via French).

(I'd like to use this post as an opportunity to plug the French-language SMK forum. It's been largely lifeless in the two months since I joined it, and needs more love from folks like YOU! If French is not your native language, this is a great place to practice it! No need to be afraid-- you can have your interface in English and most of us there also know English, but s'il vous plaît, use French as much as you can, as well as you can.)

But time is a force of nature, and so you can't influence it. An important part of wisdom is to realize the futility of resistance against what can't be altered. But equally important is it to realize that some things do not have to be the way they are.

Nature: night and day at the same time^ you're absolutely right but some things are just simply both sides of the same nature in terms of time, for example on that cruise ship, people experience a moment-- distinct and unique at the same time.

Time: is a force of nature in your world of time past, present, future, and in this reality you know that you can only influence the development of present, the humans will be forever trapped in the middle of time-- this is your three realms of time.

But what if God is beyond time? Is this where the fourth realm of time comes in?! The fourth????

Also, just saying that in the video and as the first comment says: "in Norway we see this all the time", so Finn, is that correct over there? Wink

Here's a little geography challenge I came up with tonight.

When looking up Long Island, the most populous island in the United States, on Wikipedia to see what its population was (I guessed around 5 million), I found out that its population was more than 7 million and that it was the 18th most populous island in the world, and I took this as a challenge...

Can you name the 17 islands in the world that have a larger population than Long Island?

Without checking the link below, write down the 17 world islands that you think are more populated than Long Island. Once you have 17 written down, click the link below and see how many you guessed correctly!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_islands_by_population

I got 16 out of 17. The only one I missed:

Salsette, the island on which Mumbai is situated. I guessed the Japanese island of Shikoku instead.

How well do you know your world geography?

Hokkaido is just one prefecture, but Shikoku, that I'm aware of, comprises multiple prefectures. I assumed that because Hokkaido was a single prefecture, it couldn't have been as populated as Shikoku. So it was a choice between Shikoku, and the island that Mumbai is on (I had forgotten the name). I wasn't sure if Mumbai had more than 7.5 million, nor if the entire city was on the island, so Shikoku it was.

...Anyone else having problems with Wikipedia this afternoon? I Googled "Wikipedia outage" and there were reports of outages in Europe and the Middle East, but no mention of America. It must be down worldwide now. The outage is currently being blamed on a possible cyberattack.

EDIT: Wikipedia seems to be working again now. I knew it wouldn't last long-- the Wiki staff knows how many people around the world depend on their site for research and they got on the problem quickly.

...However, the site hasn't quite made a full recovery. It's still very slow tonight. If there's a DDOS attack on Wikipedia tonight it's still going on as I write this.
