Fun fact. The land area of Greenland NOT under an ice sheet is about the size of Arizona + Colorado

Of course, he probably imagines that the mushroom he can't see (because his gut is in the way) is yuuuuge as well

than it really is. But even land area the size of Arizona and Colorado could house those rare minerals he so longs for.
