Timbuktu. Far, far away, in Mali. On Africa. Here's a very, very rough description of where one will find Timbuktu on a map:
Find Cork, Ireland.
Head south.
Find Lisbon, Portugal.
Head south.
Find Casablanca, Morroco.
Head south.
Find Marrakesh, Morroco.
Head south.
Head south a little more.
Head south/southeast.
Head south a little more.
You should be able to find Timbuktu. In Mali.
Ha! As good as GPS!
I heard on NPR this evening some nonsense about some scientists studying dung beetles and how they (the beetles) use the Milky Way to navigate their balls of dung along a straight line.
I did not utilize the Milky Way to find a path to Mali.
It must be a slow news day.
Snow tonight!!
