Re: Minor Public School

BrE filted:

Now let's see. The beings called Homo Sapiens evolved from
something else in what we now call Africa. They then spread to
more northerly areas of Mainland Earth which we now call Europe
and Asia. Eventually they spread to what we now call the
Americas.

First World: Africa,
Second World: Europe and Asia,
Third World: The Americas.

Fourth World: Who knows? Underground? In the oceans? The Moon?
Mars?

Nice try, but everyone in my circle knows the *real* meaning of these terms:

First world: NTSC
Second world: PAL
Third world: SECAM

(DVD region-encoding seems to bear this out)....r
