8. No, no, no...

This is a surface area question, not volume; and further, a solid has much more mass than volume as compared to gas (in these two cases--noxious gases of volatile brimstone compounds); also when the wind comes, the malodorous intestinal gases fly away and dissipate into nothingness.

Africa is BIG!

I always heard California is the same size as Japan. Japan is slightly larger.

11. Um, I think it's the other way around.

California is slightly larger per the link:
California (US) (423,970 km²) is 1.12 times as big as Japan (377,930 km²).

From Wiki:
California
Area - Total 163,696 sq mi
423,970 km2 - % water 4.7
Japan
Area - Total 145,925 sq mi
377,944 km2 - % water 0.8

20. I wanted to know how many Jerseys fit into New Jersey.

The site didn't have that option, so a quick look on Wikipedia was required. Turns out you can fit Jersey into New Jersey 191.45 times.

However the island is more densely populated than NJ.
