East of the Mississippi, north of the Danube. Somehow rivers still matter.

Knuck, That line you see down the middle of the US isn't the Mississippi--it's the treeline basically. It runs through San Antonio, Austin, Dallas-Ft. Worth, OK City, Wichita, Salina, Lincoln, Fargo. West of there, trees don't grow naturally except along a few riverbeds and in a few selected mountain fastnesses and favored valleys (excepting the West Coast of course).

MHA,

If a tree googles and there's nobody to see the results, does it get any hits?

China is hotter than India. Strikes me as a good indicator of where the knowledge workers are. It's not Eurabia yet.

MHA,

Just noticed that this EKG is a bit more than two years old. I can't think of any good reason that it would look substantially different today than in Aug. 2003, but is there a more recent one?

Not many searches coming out of Waziristan. :) Baghdad looks hot, though, if I've located it properly. Free people enjoying their freedom.

Knuck,

It's fairly well known that westerners actually possess possess quite a bit more knowledge than those in the east. This is simply more evidence of that fact.
