Running for office in Minnesota on the single-issue platform 'dig a permanent channel through the Traverse Gap because it will make this map more satisfying.'
I deserve this, even promised to remember last time
I will await you're return with an upvote in hand
I wonder if they were connected, hypothetically, if the Hudson would drain into the Caribbean or the other way around. The North American plains bisect the entire continent so it's feasible; I just don't know if the two bodies of water are at the same elevation, and due to gravitational effects, etc, large bodies of water aren't always at sea level.
As a Newfoundlander, I've never felt more insulted.
Yeah, I'm wounded by the ~~commission~~ omission of Cape Breton. But I think it's just that there's nothing dubious about our islands.
Edit: Sausage fingers and rogue autocorrect.
As a Florida-born Texan of partial Newfoundlander heritage, I'm... sort of nonplussed?
Agree with the other poster though. Nothing dubious about Newfoundland's island status.
I'd be more concerned if, as a Newfie, you were plussed to begin with!
Actually I have no idea what that would mean.
So what I'm hearing is that Lewis and Clark were idiots and you totally can go from coast to coast in a canoe
Which one inherits the name Turtle Island?
XKCD is usually more astute. The lack of the Colorado River, and The Grand Canyon, is a glaring omission.
"XKCD is usually more astute. The lack of the Colorado River, and The Grand Canyon, is a glaring omission."
Does the Colorado cut off a land mass? I don't think the Colorado even reaches the sea anymore, let alone psuesocleave apart a part of the continent.
That was a fun last sentence to say.
What could possibly cleave the continent more than the Grand Canyon? In many places it’s a barrier that can’t be crossed except by flight.
It’s a prominent river until Yuma, AZ, which is not too far from the Gulf of California. And even if the water doesn’t always flow, it forms the boundary between the Mexican states of Baja and Sonora.
We supply you guys with OUR lake water. Don't forget that
Who is our in this case
Or else what 😠
