Hey everyone! I hope you enjoyed Tim's post and I know I'll be sending him the caps he needs from my own personal collection so you should too.
I got a heads up about the validity of a fact yesterday so here is the deal. Don wrote to me about Snapple Real Fact
#794:
You have your facts wrong on this one. Badwater is the lowest point in the U.S. not Zabriskie Point. (Heck, not only is it spelled wrong it's not even below sea level).
Also your term in that same Real Fact referring to Mt. Whitney being the highest point in the "continental U.S. is also wrong. Mt. McKinley in Alaska is much higher. It should state "Contiguous U.S."
Now after doing some research of my own I found that Don is right about it being Zabriskie and not Zabriskien but it probably is the lowest point in the U.S.. Badwater is near Death Valley, CA and the
Zabriskie point is in Death Valley. Also, about Mt. McKinley being the highest point in the
Continental U.S. but not the
Contiguous U.S. is right since Alaska doesn't actually touch any of the central states(I had to get a dictionary too so its ok if you didn't know the difference)....semantics, oh well.
