Yes, except nobody really gives a crap about the underwater ones.

Tomato, or vinegar based?

Mustard based!

In Northern Alabama they have a mayo-based bbq for chicken. In Memphis, in addition to the tomato based, they have a dry rub.

So, Immortal... you conceed that Europe and Asia are one continent, excepting for Siberia which is part of the N. American continent? You also believe that India and Arabia are seperate continents?

Or the small ones, which are generally called subcontinents. India is generally called the subcontinent, but there are actually quite a few.

Generally, having too much acid in your stomach.

Edit: TMM beat me to it.

Apparently it's statistically impossible to get a zero, unless you know all the answers. He was trying to prove a point.

That's not true. Suppose you have 100 questions and 5 choices each, to get a 0 the chance is simply 0.8¹⁰⁰. Small, yes, but people win lotteries all the time.

Well, if you replace "water" with "major impediment to movement", then the Europe - Asia division makes sense, but so does an Asia - India division, and you can argue for a MidEast continent on the basis that the Arabian Peninula is connected to the other land masses only through a series of Ithmuses (or however you spell that).

As Che pointed out, India and Arabia (et al.) are usually called subcontinents due to their smaller size and/or underwaterness. Other than that I'll concede Eurasia is one continent, with pleasure. I didn't know Siberia was cut off, but sure, maybe we can call that a partially-attached dilinear subcontinent or something. Maybe there's mountains there as well, like the Himalayas cut off India. I dunno.

Anyway, thankyou for proving the point that a) landmass != continent, b) North and South America are separate, c) Africa is separate to Eurasia, d) you were wrong.

There is no greater impediment from moving between Asia and Europe than say Austria and Italy- in fact, there is less, as the HUns, Magyars,and Mongols showed.

Which is why I have never considered the Europe-Asia division as anything more than a political convenience.

Jeez, this is a stupid argument.
