Factoids

Some facts about this world of ours that Kia's dad sent...

More than half of the coastline of the entire United
States is in Alaska.

Canada has more lakes than the rest of the world

Next to Warsaw, Chicago has the largest Polish
population in the world.

Los Angeles's full name is El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora
la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula - I guess "I love LA" is easier to say than "I love El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora
la Reina de los Angeles de Porciuncula"

The Eisenhower interstate system (in the U.S.) requires that
one-mile in every five must be straight. These
straight sections are usable as airstrips in
emergencies - I think I knew that one, actually. I'm not sure how.
