The classroom globe was there for a reason. Expanded north and south continents are that way for a reason. Try drawing a sphere on a flat surface. It is called map projection and is manipulated according to the use of the map, navigation or area measurement. Can't have both on a flat surface.

We need a new award. Let's call it the #NoShitSherlock! award or #NSS award. Todays winner is Senator Cassidy from Louisiana. He had tough competition from the German Chancellor for saying that Russia has no interest in peace with Ukraine or Portugalโ€™s president saying Trump is a Russian asset.
