Also, India is actually classed as a sub-continent already in many cultural/geographical classifications:

Bloody rational people.
How dare you interrupt a perfectly good and weird discussion with facts?
I'll bet you're also a damned atheist!!

To whom do I write to see about getting continent status for New Zealand?

The current government.
They'll set up a committee about it.

Australia's content is small? I knew there was always something different about those people.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

It’s also one of the most sparsely populated. Three times as many people live in the UK than the entirety of the country, mainly as the vast majority of it is inhospitable desert in the outback.
But to bring the tone back down - “that’s not a knife! THIS is a knife!”
