Today in Human geography class, we researched different places around the world and gave cool facts on them. At first I went to the wrong website and found out that you can legally marry a dead person, true or not, I think that's a really weird and interesting. When that fact was shut down I discovered that the school life expectancy was 17 years for girls and only 16 for boys. Is that weird? To me that seems weird.

That was that we weren't exactly dividing the regions to their correct category. For example, when we compared the different maps of presidential votes, we mistakenly put a few states together that weren't always 100% together. Some might have gone democratic one year while the others might have gone republic. I also hadn't picked up that we could divide them up based on weather/temperature.
