   @LadyDragonfly No, the earth is not 71% water. Assuming the number is correct, the earth may be covered with water for 71% of its surface.

   If you cover your cappuccino to 71% with cocoa powder, it doesn't become a hot chocolate.

   I would have hoped the scientist would have stopped the other person there.

   (I'm triggered by this common misquote.)

     @jens so what I'm hearing is: only the _surface_ of the earth is flat? 🙃 😆
