Another fun fact: Isla Robinson Crusoe in the Pacific off the Chilean coast is at roughly the same longitude as New York City.
Very little of South America is west of NY. A globe really highlights the positioning of landmasses in the different hemispheres.
Easter Island is the same longitude as western Colorado.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
