Google Earth



So, I was goofing around with Google Earth today, and for those of you that are not familiar, it's only the coolest tool ever. Basically, it interpolates satellite imagery from the entire planet to give you a view of pretty much any place in the world. Go check it out for yourself.

Anyway, in the course of my goofing around, I found that Minneapolis (pop. 382,000) is about 23 miles north of Halifax (pop. 264,000) and about 88 miles north of Toronto (pop. 4.6 million). So, it's true: most Canadians live south of Minneapolis (and I say that because Toronto is the bulk of Canada's metropolitan population.

Interesting, don't you think?
