Comparing the surface area of the land to the surface area of the water is a more honest comparison IMHO.

Excellant point!


When you say 'spear' do you mean "sphere"? I dont know what you mean by spear, a spear to me is a pointed polearm.


Would not a better example therefore be the volume of the water compared to the livable surface area? Hmm livable would discount the Qattara depression, the South Pole and some Mountains...
