Do you live closer to the Earth's equator than one of its poles?

[pokerfan]

In other words, is your latitude greater or less than 45°?

At 47°N, I'm actually closer to the north pole than the equator. And on days like today (low sixties, wearing a sweatshirt) I can believe it.

1. Half-way between the North Pole and the equator.

I'm at 45 degrees. (How do you do that degree thingy, again?)

[pokerfan]

2. To how many decimal places?

How do you do that degree thingy, again?

Alt + 0176

or just copy/paste like I did.

3. Which is closer to Texas,...

...the equator or Hell?

[pokerfan]

4. Texas is purgatory

so it's pretty much a toss-up.

10. Well, I see Satan ...

... outside, roasting a pig and gesturing as though he wants me to come hang out.

What does that mean?

[susanr516]

11. That means you're living just down the street from me

On the Texas Gulf Coast, where it's hotter'n Hell today. (27.7 N)

[RoyGBiv]

12. Thought so ...

Damn.

The electricity gods are going to exact a harsh payment this month.

[MilesColtrane]

13. Don't do it!

It's just George Bush and Jerry Jones sharing tanning tips.

[RoyGBiv]

16. Fucking bastards ...

It wasn't even a real pig.

It was Rush with a tan. Seems he likes this sort of shit.

I'm going to the Sushi bar.

15. With Chimpy now living somewhere in Dallas

I'd have to say Hell. :evilgrin:

[krispos42]

5. 45° 34' North. Hmph, that means I'm a 68 nautical miles closer to the pole than the equator

Not that you'd know it from the weather...

[mike_c]

6. 40.867 N....

Arcata, CA.

[undeterred]

7. You forgot Poland.

[Strong Atheist]

8. Equator, and I like it like that... nt.

[_dynamicdems]

9. I'm at 42.996, which is closer to the equator than the north pole.

Today it actually feels like it for a change!

:)

[sarge43]

14. 43o54 '50"N n/t

[dmr]

17. 44.75 - we still had a bit of snow melting in May n/t

[JTG of the PRB]

18. I'm closer to the equator - I'm a shade north of 40 degrees.

[Vidar]

19. 30 miles south of the 45th parallel.

[Mutley]

20. From that map it looks like I'm between 35 and 40.

So, I'm closer to the equator.

[av8rdave]

21. I'll be about 10 KM from the equator most of next week

I once lived about 5 miles south of the 45th parallel, so I was close.
