Austin, TX, USA.

Regarding the weather here: I find the occasional worries about stuff freezing that is kept outdoors very amusing.

In the middle of a cane field, in the Backwards South, United States of *North* America. It is perpetually hot-as-hell, humid, and the mosquitos will carry off your pets and small children.

Am I to believe that we have more than 4 times as many from Antarctica than from Australia?? I'm not sure if that's impressive or worrying (or have we got a few playing funny buggers!).

Perth, Western Australia

The only people living on Antarctica are those in research stations.

There probably aren't 60 poeple on the whole continent. Of course people are being cheeky about it! :P

Ofcourse I can see that Tim, but where are the Aussies?

...and, so we're clear, Antarctica's population is a bit over 60 actually (somewhere around a thousand).

Idunno, looks proportional to me. Australia is a continent, but it's only the population of, say, a state in U.S.A. or Europe.

Hmm, come to think of it, that should be "Australasia" or "Oceanis", to be perfectly precise.

I would dare complain North America isn't being proportionally represented!

Interesting, the first hit on Google says Antarctica usually has a population of 1000~3000, give or take, varying by season. Bigger stations (and more) than I would've expected.

No way! I don't believe there are that many people here that LIVE in Antarctica!

I live in Little Rock, Arkansas and will be moving to New Orleans, LA soon. (Metairie, actually, but nobody knows where that is).

I would also like to mention that I have visited every state west of the Mississippi River except for Iowa, Minnesota and North Dakota. Also, Mississippi, Tenesee, North Carolina, Alabama and Florida. As you can see, I enjoy traveling.

"I live in the world's biggest city: Mexico City."

Tokyo, Japan is the world's largest metropolitan area. I have always considered that true. Wikipedia seems to confirm it:

Tokyo, Japan
Seoul, South Korea
Mexico City, Mexico
New York City, United States

If you do just the cities you get WAY different results.

1. Mumbai (Bombay), India 11,914,398 2001c
2. São Paulo, Brazil 11,016,703 2006e
3. Shanghai, China 10,996,500 2003e
4. Moscow, Russia 10,101,500 2001c
5. Seoul, South Korea 9,820,171 2005c
6. Delhi, India 9,817,439 2001c
7. Karachi, Pakistan 9,339,023 1998c
8. Istanbul, Turkey 8,831,805 2000c
9. Beijing, China 8,689,000 2001e
10. Mexico City, Mexico 8,591,309 2000c

and 14 is New York City.

I suppose if you meant by land area then you might be right.
