So, what you are saying is that everyone was Kung Fu fighting?
Those cats were fast as lightning
This map exactly coincides with the area where people’s feet are fast as lightning. Uncanny!
I find this highly suspect. You're telling me there wasn't a single person Kung Fu fighting in the ocean? It somehow only affected people on land?
They were only at sea for transit, and they were fast as lightning, so they were actually on land while fighting
highly academic
Poor New Zealand… they are really missing out.
new what?
That one Dutch province that nobody has ever been to
You mean the people who are fighting the sea?
And cat-sized house spiders or some shit. That part of the globe scares me.
Bro, I can't even leave the house without these fucking ninjas at my door. I do another triple spin kick to the face this week and my knees will be done for.
That's a little bit frightening
The people of New Zealand unsure what kind of pandemic is spreading across the world.
If it's any comfort, they fought with expert timing
Well, when you consider that and the fact that there was funky China men, I do feel better
Thunderbolt and lightning
No wait that's not it
Yeah you've got your "frightening" scale mixed up,
"Thunderbolt and lightning" are on the "very very frightening" end
Quite lucky that it happened on the one day in history where there were no people in any of the seas!
Totally misses the people at sea who were kung fu fighting.
And presumptuously colors uninhabited areas.
I question the author of this infographic with regard to the source material providing the data.
During 1974 Pavel Senko, D.D.Maksutov, V.S.Ignatov, V.I.Serdyukov, N.A.Kornilov of the Soviet Union were leading the Soviet Antarctic Expeditions. The original source material cites "everyone" so the exclusion of these 5 gentlemen and the entire continent of Antarctica raises questions about the validity of the graphic.
