Antartica has an area code, and it's 672.

 

Also on a more personal note, golf really is an amazing game and i can't believe i didn't get into it earlier. I really am growing up. :)

 

I had better not find any 672 area code phone numbers on my phone bill, or my kids are gonna be extremely grounded. :pirate

By the way, a duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. :huh Spooky.

Here's one I heard that may or may not be true.

having just left that godforsaken place (TN, sorry to those that live there and love it, it just wasn't my bag), i had to check into this one, and it appears to be true:

memphis is at the bottom left-hand corner of the state, and the north eastern tip of the state stretches pretty far east, no wonder it took me 6 hours to get drive out of the state.

And people wonder why people in my part of the Empire State don't give a shit about Buffalo. DC is closer to me than Buffalo is. (Sorry, Meg.)
