Descrição: About 300 feet east of Old U.S. Highway 85 in western South Dakota -- so far out in the middle of nowhere that Google Street View hasn't yet visited -- there's a bare patch worn into the plains. [...]theoretically if everyone in America left home and started walking to one central point, the west bank of Rock Creek just as it trickles into the Wilderness would be the destination for which everyone, collectively, would have the shortest walk. The Census Bureau has mapped it after each tabulation of the country's population: Since he's been there, it's been called Route double-O? Jet fuel runs $4.60 a gallon and a 747 burns five gallons a mile, meaning that we're saving over $64,000 in fuel costs alone every ten times a member of Congress makes a round-trip visit to the new Capitol. The only problem with uprooting the legislative branch of the government and shipping it to the Show-Me State is that we'd just need to move it again once districts are redrawn.
