Where to start? | Where to start? | ||
And we | For one thing, Kilimanjaro ''doesn’t'' rise above the [[Serengeti]]. You can’t even ''see'' it from the [[Serengeti]], unless you get in a hot air balloon and take a telescope: they’re about 300 kilometres from each other. Kilimanjaro rises above the [[Tsavo]] (see picture). | ||
And Mount Olympus ''definitely'' doesn’t rise above the [[Serengeti]]. It’s in Greece. | |||
To the extent you could say that something that has just sat there for millions of years does anything as energetic as “rising”, then [[Kilimanjaro]] doesn’t rise ''like'' [[Olympus]], either. It rises like [[Kilimanjaro]]. They ''don’t'' look anything like each other. I mean, ''look''. | |||
And we haven’t even got onto the fact that THE LINE DOESN’T SCAN FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. | |||
