>A silly question prompted a fellow blogger, Texas in Africa, to post this pic, developed by Boston University.
Of course Africa is a sizable continent and not a country (there is even merchandise to prove it here), but how often do we really ponder the size of this great continent?
I knew from before the relative size of Sweden and Ghana (Sweden is almost twice as large with less than half the population), but it never hit me that Africa as a whole is so vast that Europe, US (including Alaska) and China could fit inside.
I must say this overlay of maps intrigues me.
What are your thoughts when you see it?
