Visiting Every Latitude and Longitude Intersection

Posted by Hemos on Monday July 26, 2004 @11:45AM from the interesting-projects dept.

Kevin A. Pieckiel writes "The Degree Confluence Project's goal is to visit every latitude and logitude degree integer intersection in the world and journal it on this web site. An excerpt: 'The project is an organized sampling of the world. There is a confluence within 49 miles (79 km) of you if you're on the surface of Earth. We've discounted confluences in the oceans and some near the poles, but there are still 12,889 to be found.' A neat project, indeed." As Timothy noted, I've posted before, and in Slashback form; a while back.

May I be the first to say (if not think):

Get A Life!!

Seriously though. All this effort. Can't you people donate this time and sweat to something that will help someone? Or do you really feel that you're helping people by picking your nose at every random spot here to timbucktoo?
