I ran across this recent quote while cleaning house on my e-mail:

> Vancouver Island is a big place! Second largest island in the world.

Greenland is the largest. Whatever happened to Ellesmere, Victoria, Baffin, 
Newfoundland, Cuba, Great Britain, Madagascar, Honshu, Sumatra, Borneo, New 
Guinea, North and South Islands, and Tasmania, among others?
