Europe is not a continent. Europe is part of Eurasia.

Is Europe just a peninsula on the Asian continent? If this is correct then all of them do end in "A"

Got answered before I even posted?

Chance, when god was naming his continents, Europe was the last one out which coincided with him creating the letter "E" so he thought he would use it.

He would later make up for it by creating a football league to make amends.

WRONG! - Europe was never part of Erasure, there was only Vincent Clarke and Andrew Bell!



Edit: crap, too late!

Europe is not a continent. Europe is part of Eurasia.
No, Europe were more guitar based whilst Eurasia were more pop/electronic, don't think they ever collaborated.
Brilliant!

Just coincidence?

Most places are named after a small town or hamlet in Europe I would have though.
