I have more random facts: The Pacific Ocean is bigger than all land on earth combined. You can fit 34 million Vatican Citys in Russia. Monaco with 40,000 people has a similar GDP to Somalia with about 17 million. The sun never sets UK and France because of overseas territories. India has a higher population than all of Africa. And yet, France and UK each have a higher GDP than Africa. In Czechia, beer is cheaper than water.

Mostly good, but some glaring errors, particularly Nos. 50 and 90.
20:22 That's not the US (looks more like the African savanna) and that's not even a tornado, looks more like a dust devil.
The Canada-US border comparison to Everest is numerically true when units are disregarded.
101: Australia has the Lowest High point (Mount Kosciusko) and Highest Low point (Lake Eyre) making it the Flatest Continent.
How is Indonesia bigger than Australia? We're an island nation! Also, we are the continent with the fewest number of nations - 1! You must learn to respect Australia.
No 77: if you insist in using the "Arctic Ocean" for this "fact" then you must ALSO use the "Antarctic Ocean" (aka Southern Ocean), thus Australia also borders 3 oceans (Indian, Pacific & Antarctic).

He was going by the metropolitan area population, which is more commonly used to determine a large city's population when China is included. China has weird definitions for what a city is, so their cities are much larger than others around the world. According to these measures, Mumbai is the 5th largest city, followed by Mexico City.

You used kilometres for distances but then switched to inches? Are you using the metric system or not? I'm from South Africa and we went 100% metric in 1961 (when Mzansi left the Commonwealth - we rejoined later). So inches mean nothing to me.

In #2, 5 of the 'stans' used to be part of the Soviet Union--Kazakh-, Tajik-, Turkmen-, Uzbek- and Kyrgyz-, and #1 is the home of Baikonur--Russia's Cape Canaveral. If the water between the arctic islands of Canada were removed, the US would be bigger than Canada, but it would still be ridiculously close. I'm not certain what your point was when talking about S. America, and bringing in Antarctica, but it sounded more than a bit questionable, since they're each continents on their own. On this side of the pond, "The Americas" is considered 2 continents--N.A. and S.A., with the Caribbean lands being part of the North portion. You neglected to clarify whether the #67 tree is a redwood or a Sequoia. Since the trunk is rather stocky, I'm going to guess Sequoia. You dropped the ball on #77, as the north coast of Alaska (USA) also faces the Arctic Ocean--from the NW corner to the Canadian border. Just an FYI, the last time I updated my list of international airports here in the USA, it stood at 156.
