In addition to my visit to The Map Room while in London last month, I had the opportunity to visit the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. It was quite a thrill to be there and to be able to lie down on the Prime Meridian.

Thank you Matt! I try to dispel this rumor in my 9th grade geography class. Someone somewhere told these kids it was a big deal that the Nile River flows north. I said, “Who gives a crap?” Well, maybe not in the exact words. Thanks for helping to educate others.
Oops! Put this comment under the wrong article. I was refering to the “Do All Rivers Flow South?” article. Sorry!
