Mappin' USA

As I was on the phone with my mother discussing my important research this evening, she asked where Alabama was in relation to Tennessee. As I visualized the Southern US and Florida seemed bigger in my mind that reality (masculinity trouble). I figured I'd better double-check. So, I googled MAP OF USA and came up with this handy reference tool--the very first result!




My mum laughed when I told her.

I had heard something about Google... and China... and about that being a problem, but I didn't believe it. (At least they look like Chinese characters to me, I recognize a few, I think, but I'll need my favourite expert on the subject to confirm it.)

Indeed there are.
Wise boy that Kenneth. Wise!
