Two fun latitude facts.
#1 New Zealand- Which seems like a sort of tropical country to me is about the same distance from the equator at New York. (40 degrees) Doesn't that seem weird? Shouldn't New Zealand be closer to the equator than New York?
#2 Cairo - I've always felt that Cairo was really hot and on the equator. WRONG...it's the same latitude as Austin. Every time I stop to realize it's not on the equator I have to forcibly yank it 30 degrees north. I feel bad for the Egyptians-that must hurt.
