BTW, looking at northern hemisphere vs southern hemisphere doesn't show just how unevenly it is distributed. To really see how unevenly land is distributed go to Google Maps (or any other online map that switches to a 3D globe view when you zoom out and search for Bora Bora in French Polynesia. Then zoom out to the globe view. Then tweak the position to get North America to just disappear over the horizon, along with most of South America. With sufficient tweaking you can get it down to the half of the Earth you are looking at just being ocean, Australia, Papua New Guinea, Tasmania, about 2/3 of Antartica, and parts of Argentina, Chile, Indonesia, and Philippines, plus a handful of islands.
