Hey Australia, not sure if you heard - but according to a professor at Southern New Hampshire University, Australia is not a country.
As part of a sociology assignment, where students were to compare social norms in one country with the United States, used Australia as her comparison country.
The student failed, with the remark:
"Australia is a continent; it is not a country. That error made it nearly impossible for you to accurately complete your week 2 research outline correctly."
Australia is in fact both a continent and a country, a fact which means many Australians I've met don't really understand what a continent is. For the most part, they think "North America" means the northern part of the USA.
Fun fact, while often grouped with Australia, and even listed as a state in its constitution, New Zealand is part of a separate submerged continent called Zealandia. According to Wikipedia anyway.
Don't worry, the student was able to finally teach their professor some basic geography, and get a refund on their course fees.

Haha no, it was actually on purpose
Not only did this spark the initial comment, but now a whole conversation about whether I meant to do it or not.
That's the REAL growth hack :D
