*Cousin Josh can dispute this statement if he wishes to stretch out the curl in his ponytail and measure it.
If you saw that gorgeous floral post on Google Reader and can't find it here, don't worry! It will show up here in a few days...I hit the wrong key and published it for all of 5 seconds, but it showed up on the reader anyway. I am trying to put Ernest's photos in somewhat chronological order. And here it begins...
Ernest on the actual Equator.
Yes, he performed the flushing-water-flow experiments. He says: Right on the Equator, it goes straight down. And there is a difference to the north or south.
There is a large monument, built by the French in the 1700s, which is about 300 feet off of the actual Equator. But I think that's pretty darn close, considering they didn't have GPS. I guess they didn't know the flushing trick. (But they've since wised up to that Google trick.)
Stay tuned tomorrow for some looking up!

What a very cool thing to have done.
Having actually viewed said pony-tail undone, Ernest can keep the longest hair title.
