Had to look that up. Isle of Wight is approx 150 square miles which equates to 4,181,763,051. Earth's population is 7.7billion.

this probably says something about population growth in decades since they devised the original fact.

It would have to be a two story Isle of White so it could be updated to make good on the population growth since the original stat.

Coca Cola is not sold in Cuba and North Korea.

Yet Cubans eat, on average, twice as much sugar as Americans, & are still healthier

Did Tyrannosaurus Rex eat Stegosaurus?

The absurdity of the question becomes clearer when you consider that human beings are closer to T-Rex (in time) than a T-Rex is to a Stegosaurus! No chowing down on a thagomizer for the big guy!

I've never once considered giving the Isle of Wight a mezzanine floor, but when you think of it I quite like the idea.

I’m sure Dexys Midnight runners was about slinging drugs in Dublin

DYK that about 50% of people remain seated on the toilet when wiping their behind after a poo, the other 50% stand.

I don't disagree with your assessment of Dexys Midnight Runners although I don't agree either.

I'm sure that the issue of whether to stand or sit when wiping your behind after a poo is as divisive a matter as Brexit. I just can't stand discussing it.

The earth is only 2019 years old and made by a man in the sky... and it is also flat

Rubbish. Everybody knows it is 4,500 years old and was made in 6 days. And the bloke wot did it was so chuffed he had a day off on the 7th day.

And that fossils and do on which can be carbon-dated to older than 4,500 years are purely an elaborate hoax - fake News.
