For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some ‘organic element’ since I couldn’t accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.
Alaska is simultaneously the northernmost, westernmost, and easternmost US state.
Its Western most point crosses the international date line and is therefore technically “really far east” instead of “really far west”.
It’s arbitrary, though. And I’ve never heard of the dateline being the border where east and west start. It makes no sense.
What would happen if you were to put both of yours legs in these westernmost and the easternmost parts?
