  • A friend and I had an interesting conversation on MSN today. And by "interesting" I really mean "weird and random." The conversation began as he wondered aloud (as much as one *can* wonder aloud on MSN) which was bigger: Alberta or Texas. What ensued was a flurry of googling and a conclusion reached, that Texas is almost 7,000 square meters larger than Alberta.

    Then, which is bigger: Northwest Territories or Texas? Northwest Territories or Alaska? Alaska or Nunavut? All pointless, really, but just the thing to kill a few dull moments on a Sunday afternoon.

    I guess things continued in due course, and now I am privy to two facts of which I was not previously aware:

    1. That 83.4 Pennsylvania's could fit inside Canada.
    2. That if the average tea bag is 4.5 square centimetres, and the entire surface of Canada were to be covered in such tea bags, it would require 137,506,178,022.4 tea bags.

    If you need a random statistic, and are too lazy to find the answer, or don't care, it's likely that someone else is willing. And it's likely that person is me.

    I hope you are all well!
    Much love.
    Drew.
