El Mitad del Mundo

Yes, I am officially the centre of the world, everything revolves around me :)

I did some amusing experiments balancing eggs on nails and watching water going down the plug hole in various directions (don't worry Sandy, have taken extensive video footage so that you can explain to me at length why it's all a hoax!)

Confusingly, there is some disagreement about the exact location of the centre of the world. A few hundred years ago, a French dude did some experiments to confirm where the equator line was. In 1979 a massive monument and museum was erected to signify the spot. Unfortunately, more recently, GPS has determined that the real equator is actually 200 metres down the road....oops. In general, it is still maintained that the monument marks the equator line, but probably it's quite expensive to move a massive stone structure.
