Well, as per parent's logic, that claim is out the door ever since the Suez was dug out.

Yes. A continent is a big contiguous mass of land. There were 3: Eurasia-africa, America, Oceania and Antarctica.

Suez and Panama channels created other continents.

As an Australian, inculcated with the orthodoxy that this was the largest island while also being the smallest continent - how does 'Oceania' fit with your quite technical 'big contiguous mass of land'?

If we made another small rut parallel to either Suez or Panama, would we add 1 to the count of continents?

[neves]

No, it wouldn't be a big mass

[Jedd]

Oceania is a big mass?
