If you insist. Basically I forgot Africa and Eurasia are joined so

FWIW, this list of islands disagrees with the list posted ITT. The first disagreement is that it puts Luzon ahead of Newf. More interestingly, the Wikipedia list includes a couple of big fluvial islands that are left out of the Amazing Maps list. One of those, Bananal, is right in the middle of Brazil: A river happens to branch out and then join together again.

So bridges negate islands? The Florida keys are not individual islands?

I'm not the one making the rules ST, i'm merely trying to establish what they are.

the original chart establishes that ice over water does not negate an island so neither would nor should a bridge

Midsomer?

yes?

Part of the inspiration behind the Island of Sodor (from Thomas the Tank Engine) is apparently the weird factoid that "Sodor and Man" is (for really real this is not a joke) the name of the Church-of-England diocese whose territory consists of the Isle of Man (alone). The author of the Thomas books was a priest, so naturally he'd be aware of that funny bit of naming.

Found it! Skyfall Lodge. (Look eastward from "Sea" in "Sea of Celts")

So at least this map is good for something since the middle ages.
