virtual islands i think... stewart island is a virtual island... and Kiwi might even be another... and eventually NZ might be an archipeligo at least a virtual one, with some of its geography here

Another planet, apparently.
Just checked here:
http://nz.com/quiz/quiz.html
and apparently there are 5. How's that then? Counting some of those teeny islands in the north?

There are only three islands worth mentioning. That's the North Island (Te Ika e Maui for those of you with PC genes), the South Island (Te Wai Pounamu, yadda) and Stewart Island (Rakiura, likewise). The rest don't count. Dunno where that quiz got the other two from. Probably from pissing up on Waiheke Island.

WOW, shona, how did you ever find that cool quiz? I scored 6. When I checked my score against others', I learned that an ELVIS GARG scored a perfect 10...

Exactly. And AWADtalk is implicitly defined in my first post as Godzone's fourth island.

Phew. Thought I'd really lost it there.

As if.
