If Australia a Small Continent or a large Island?

It appear then that continental status is based more on politics and culture than empirical science.

LESS FILLING, TASTES GREAT

FORD VS CHEVY

COWBOYS VS REDSKINS.

Just being silly. I think the reality is outside science itself, it is considered both an island and a continent. It is an oddity sure. I say it is both at the same time. 

I do know having visited it is a fucking pain in the ass using the toilet upside down. That shit gets messy.
