ok having just scoped out the guinness website
it is now clear that they just dont keep records of
this
worlds largest
ilk there at all
& thus cannot even be considered a potentially
interested party to this quest
for only if my worlds largest try were a personal feat
of some kind might they be interested
which seems funny since thats exactly what this is
worlds largest peninsula ever perceived
hahahaha
but i dont think i would go after them that way
& in fact there doesnt seem to be much interest
anywhere online at least in such an honor roll of the
worlds largest geographical objects as might include
the worlds largest peninsula
so perhaps better to just rest on my laurels as
provisionally established below
until & unless someone can improve on them
& possibly tho not very likely reverse the decision
for the margin is close but not so close that i
seriously doubt the findings are correct
hmm
but maybe what i should do next is simply create the
very list of the worlds largest geographical things
records that this record could fit into
so
the largest continent is of course still afroeurasia
& the largest ocean is as we all know the pacific
& the largest peninsula apparent is the afroeuropic
& the largest sea is generally said to be the south
china
but now what else is there to add on that scale
so i think i will just rest on my laurels here again
