Antarctica won’t be so big after it melts.

That’s a poor drawing of Australia.

It’s funny how some in that part of the world think that a baby born with extra limbs is a sign from the gods if not a god itself just because they don’t understand it.

@briatollah; unlike the Arctic, Antarctica is a continent. The ice on it may melt (let’s hope not) but the earth won’t.

If it was only an undeveloped twin, there should have been one extra pair of legs, making 4, not 6. Where did the extra set come from?

When did Australia start looking like that? Did I miss a big event?

The wording makes it sound like Europe is bigger than Australia. This is true, but not in the illustration. What a misfire from a usually good art team.Nice to know we have one cause to envy pigeons.

@AussieDownUnder,Apparently, according to the drawing, the part of Australia that isn’t showing is Down Under. Even the part that is showing is Down Under! If Antarctica melts, more of it might be Down Under, but who knows, you know!
