Here's a fun little game if you're a nerd
When I was a kid I always wondered where I'd end up in the world if I walked out my front door in Saint John and didn't turn once, just walking in a perfectly straight line around the globe.
Thanks to Google Earth, now I can. I started my little trek last night, with the most interesting bit being that I ended up within two city blocks of Ground Zero in Hiroshima. Now I've been trying to figure out how to compute what the exact opposite side of the globe is - I know generally, of course, but I mean literally the exact coordinates opposite my house.
Oh, what a time to be alive!
Cheers,
John

Unfortunately, turns out it's just water. I was kind of hoping it would be in Perth.
