so it's coincidental that the Aztecs had flatbread as did the spanish... and i was assuming that the spanish taught them about flatbread which was then improvised out of corn.


i thought you might have been joking, mad monk, but why did you say pita to africa? if you were referring to the origin, why wouldn't you have said the french introduced pita to greece or to the middle east... not africa.

Where is Egypt, again?

Hey! Don't confuse Mr. 1360 with the facts!

[Al B. Sure!]

Egypt is part of the middle east

[The Mad Monk]

Very Good!

Now, what continent is it on?

[Al B. Sure!]

it's on the Afro-Asiatic-European landmass...

[JohnT]

landmass != continent.

[The Mad Monk]

BZZZZT!

Sorry, wrong answer! But we do have some wonderful consolation prizes, like this map:

[Al B. Sure!]

prior to the construction of the Suez Canal, Africa, Asia, and Europe were a single continent

[The Mad Monk]

Some would argue that Europe and Asia are still a single continent.

[Al B. Sure!]

indeed...

[JohnT]

Had no idea the Suez canal was that long, Albert.

[The Mad Monk]

But, does that mean that prior to the construction of the Panama canal, North America and south America were a single continent?

[Al B. Sure!]

yes they were... if they werent then ships would've been crossing from atlantic to pacific without going around the cape of megellan.

[The Mad Monk]

Um...no.
