Swing a cat

I just learned this mind-blowing fact. And it's so mind-blowing I just had to share it with you.

If Stewart Island was divided into squares of 50cm by 50cm there would be enough squares for every single person in the world to have one. Put another way, every person in the world could stand on Stewart Island.

See, I told you it was mind-blowing.

For those of you with NE Lincs geogrpahical knowledge, instead of NZ graphical knowledge, that's pretty much like drawing a pentagon where Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Gainsborough, Lincoln and Horncastle are the corners and standing every person in the world in that shape. Market Rasen would be even busier than race day.
