Oft repeated fact isn’t true

At dinner last night, we told a friend from Rhode Island that Walt Disney World was bigger than the state of Rhode Island. I can’t remember where or when we heard that, I’m pretty sure that this little “fact” made its way into our brains from more than one conduit…
So, this morning, I thought I’ll look this up and prove to them (Walter & Walter’s nephew) that WDW is bigger then RI.
Oops!
Anybody know if sriracha goes well with crow? I think I might be dining on blackbirds pretty soon!
