See bonus link  Well, Sudan is now two countries but this was made before that happened. Also, Israel has absorbed Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. An...interesting move. Also, Japan and Korea, some of the largest countries by population, are worth zero points. Zero! If you read the map reviews though, the map is praised for being balanced, instead of derided for lack of geographic sense. Anyway, look at this one. Guess which is ontario (hint, it looks like 25% of american states)  |

Guess which is ontario (hint, it looks like 25% of american states) Med earth is quite balanced, other than the Argentina there. Didn't they read the rules about no large territories?  BTW, the map is from Warlight, which is basically Risk online with added optional rules. |

Do any of you read cheezburger? When its not spreading propaganda its a comedy website. one section is for fails on facebook. Anyway, so this guy on facebook asks: Can someone guess where (country/city) I am? The posting system automatically says he is in Kampong Gadong, Brunei Another post from that website is a person saying that if earth was 10 ft closer or farther from the sun we would burn or freeze. When someone points out that the earth can in fact move millions of kilometers without dying, they say "Okay thats cool and alll but dont ever comment on my status telling me that i am wrong everrr again. I didn't ask you did i? Answer: NO |

More facepalm moments!
When in the First World War the Russians are chasing the Germans, but their Commander dies and the Germans find out the map marking the entire offensive with the generals dead body! (Insert facepalm here)
When in 1965 the Indians are launching an all-out counterattack in Punjab (Pakistani Punjab) but then a Pakistani unit counters and the Indian General flees leaving his jeep AND (again) the map having the entire offensive marked. Which when falls into the Pakistani hands helps them reorganize the Defense of Lahore.

My idiotic classmate thought Washington, D.C. was in its own state. He means well, but he's not the brightest bulb on the shelf. Also, he thought you could smoke Hennessy.

1. People who think Dutch and Deutsch are the same (hint; they're not) 2. People who think Siberia is a country 3. People who think Russia is a continent (although to be fair it should idk ) On your third point, it isn't political boundaries that create continents, its the tectonic plates. |

I think he means because Russia is bigger than some continents (and the moon) and because it spans 2 continents it should be it's own continent (or Sub-Continent like India) |

On this one website, they have an article claiming, well, that homer Simpson is god. But that's not my point. It then says: Wait. Does this mean we're all supposed to have no more than four fingers on each hand?
Ugh, you already have only four fingers on each hand (unless you're special) OH WAIT, homer simpson must have changed reality and I'm the only one who knows!
Considering that I got in a big argument over this awhile back, and that no one in the comments corrects them (they probably would) did the definition of 4 fingers and 1 thumb change recently? Or am I just really stupid.
