T-Rex: I am going to pick one square meter of the world at random, and I am going to learn ALL I CAN about this location on our planet. I will know its history, ecology, culture, future - its EVERYTHING!
T-Rex: I will become an expert on a tiny, tiny piece of our world!
Narrator: LATER:
T-Rex: So uh, anyway, I ended up with a square meter of ocean in the Pacific Ocean. I know this: it's full of water, and if you only drink that water, you'll die.
Dromiceiomimus: That's it?
T-Rex: That's it; the bottom's never been explored. Also, boats go through it sometimes. Rarely though.
T-Rex: Woooo
Utahraptor: I think you need to widen your scope: the Earth's surface is 510.1 million square kilometers!
T-Rex: So?
Utahraptor: So that's enough for an exclusive area of 72 square kilometers, EACH, for every person to learn about! That's PLENTY, plus it's big enough for ocean areas to have mapping that's at least at 5km resolution.
T-Rex: Oh man! TO THE LIBRARY! We're gonna learn so much about the planet!!
Narrator: LATER:
T-Rex: MY AREA'S STILL JUST FULL OF BORING WATER; THE PLANET SUCKS
T-Rex: MY PART OF IT I MEAN
T-Rex: THE REST OF IT MIGHT BE FINE; THAT'S REALLY NO CONCERN OF MINE
