Filed under Geography lessons, Guides
Today’s geography lesson is about Greece. Greece is here:
Greece

Population: About 11 mil, 1 mil if you exclude Albanian immigrants.
Language: Greek (NO, IT’S NOT FUCKING ANCIENT GREEK, JUST LIKE ENGLISH IS NOT FUCKING OLD ENGLISH).
Flag: Blue with stripes and a cross (kinda looks like a gay christian prisoner).
National Anthem: Yes, best ever.
Area: Smallish area, but few people too, so we manage.
Currency: The Euro (it’s the new currency of the European Union, for all you Americans), formerly the Drachma. Also, yes, Euro > Dollar.
Capital: Athens, and it’s not full of ancient buildings, as most people seem to think. All the ancient stuff is underground.

Geography lessons - Mistake?

Some people may think that I have forgotten to place Australia and Antarctica on the map. That is, of course, a fallacy. They are both there, but you can’t see them, because the map is a Mercator Projection. They are a bit to the left and down. Shut up now.
As always, email corrections and hatemail to billgates@microsoft.com.

Geography lessons - Canada.

Today’s geography lesson is about Canada. Canada is here:


Population: Good people, albeit a bit few.
Language: Modded American English, pronouncing “about” as “aboot”.
Flag: Red with a fig leaf to cover their nakedness.
National Anthem: Yes.
Area: Hugeass area, that’s why there are two people per square kilometer in the city.
Currency: Canadian dollar. They call it dollar so you think it’s American dollar, but it’s cheaper, so it makes everything look more expensive, i.e. “Hey, look! I got this car for $150.000!” “Wow, is it a Ferrari?” “No, dodge” “Oh, you mean Canadian dollars.”
Capital: The capital is apparently Ottawa, although everyone thinks it is Toronto, except the people who live in Ottawa.
