In which Asia's and Africa's claim to "continent" status looks suddenly shaky, and Europe's completely laughable.

If Africa was the same continent as Asia, it should be easy to walk across.
But you literally can't. The only connections are a freeway bridge (currently closed), a railway bridge, a road tunnel and ferries.

As for Europe, it doesn't even have its own continental plate.
So it's less of a continent than India.
