Just how big is Africa? I was looking at a map the other day with a friend, and he said, "Africa is just so huge compared to everything else" and I found myself thinking, "I have no idea what that really means". So I decided to figure out some way of getting a feel for it. So, here's the UK in comparison to Africa. If you walked from the south coast of England to the north of Scotland you would walk about 8° of latitude. Not much help to understand the distance though, eh? Well, a reasonably fit adult walks about 1km in 12 minutes. So at that rate, assuming you walk for 8 hours each day it would take you about 22 days to complete the journey. Do the same thing for Africa and you would walk for 200 days. That is about 7 months continual walking. The diagram shows you can fit about nine United Kingdoms along the North-South extent of Africa.

On the fall of Stephen Kevin Bannon So long then, Steve Bannon You went too far, right? Does anyone believe in you now? And when you took that appointment Did you ask yourself “Has the world gone mad?” When Icarus flew Too close to the sun The wax in his wings Melted. You, who are nothing but words, All trite, and insincere Could not give Donald The words required. You wanton fool, Not melted, fired. Marek Ziebart, London 2017
