small facts


I am often amazed at my ignorance.

For instance, just today I learned all of Maine is south of the northermost border of Minnesota. In fact when I am in Ely,MN I am north of everyone in Maine. If you are having trouble figuring this out, remember the earth is a sphere.

It has also been claimed that 1/ 3 of all Canadians live south of Minneapolis. I can neither prove nor disprove this fact yet, though I am determined to.

That's an easy one-- most Canadians are in Toronto or Montreal, and the Ontario province has a big chunk that slides South in the space between Michigan and the Eastern states.

Now think about this -- Detroit is actually North of a small chunk of Canada!
