James Wallis sinks Azeroth's barge in style

[matgb]

A couple days back, James Wallis posted about the Interesting 2008 unconference and it sounded, well, interesting:

Saturday was the day of Interesting 08, the second unconference organised by Russell Davies (no T on this boy) at Conway Hall in London. Thirty speakers gave talks on subjects close to their hearts, the only common linking theme that the topics were—and the speakers should be—interesting. Possibly it was the best not-a-conference conference I’ve ever been to.

Today, he's posted a video of his presentation, and it is, quite simply, brilliant:

Of especial interest to any and all science geeks, and any/all World of Warcraft players. Or people who know such players and want ammunition in order to better take the piss. Just watch it, it's worth it. Video was taken by another presenter, Roo Reynolds, who did his talk on Lego, he's got quite a lot of it. He's also listed several of the other presenters., some of which definitely look interesting.

hehe very good.

Only thing is, it's well documented within Warcraft that there's a lot more sea than land mass on Azeroth. And there's an unmapped Southern continent. So his calculations may be a little bit off.

See, I know this not, and I suspect he's either overlooked it or isn't aware. You must tell him, in the interests of Skience.
