Okay, listen up mother ****** . First off, he meant circling around the earths axis of rotation, you dumb bitch. This counts as going around the world as long as that means circling the central rotational point, you stupid cunt. Second, traveling literally around the world at any point would not entail going through every country, in fact, if he were to feel so inclined he could make a globe spanning trip without leaving international water, you flaming dickpillow.

Show me where he said he could pass in all the timezones in 8 seconds. He wasn't specific enough to say timezones, he just said around the world, which means all of the ************* goddamn countries.

FailureToComply (01/17/2013) [-] I'm not sure what part of this you don't understand..
Countries: Areas of land separated by imaginary border lines, agreed upon through political (and less recently war-related) means. You can find these lines on a map.
Time Zones: 24 areas of the world, split along lines perpendicular to the equator, that converge at either pole (north and south). In each zone, the time is one hour earlier or later than the zone before it, depending on direction of travel. Two zones are separated by the international date line, in which this trend is broken, and you actually move forward/back 23 hours.
In order to travel around the world, you would have to, well, travel around the world. You would need to start at one longitudinal line, and keep going forward until you've arrived back at that line. Normally, this is difficult, however, where those lines meet (at the poles), it is possible in a short amount of time.
Nowhere does he say he is going to visit every country in the world, nowhere does it say he has to cross borders. The entire south pole is located in Antarctica, which (currently) has no established political boundaries. It's cold and **** , no country has successfully colonized it on a large enough scale yet. So, by starting in Antarctica, he can start at latitude 0 degrees, walk across every other imaginary latitudinal line, and arrive at 0 degrees again, successfully completing his trip around the world. He hasn't seen any other countries, and it wasn't an exciting trip, but that's not the ******* point.
