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.
