Another fun thing about French borders: France used to border The Netherlands outside of Europe, on Martinique/Sint Maarten. For a while it was the only place where The Netherlands and France bordered (on land, before Sint Maarten got its autonomy as a country in 2010. Though Sint Maarten is still part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, so not entirely independent. Also Suriname used to be part of The Netherlands as well, giving us another former land border with France.

In Antarctica you never see a dead Penguin. The reason for that is Penguin are social family oriented birds and take care of each other. When a Penguin dies the other Penguins gather together and take their flippers and dig a hole in the ice. They then drag the dead Penguin to the gravesite, surround the deceased bird and sing a farewell song. When they are done, they kick him in the ice hole

For the last segment, my favorite related fact is that there is a chunk of Canada (part of the hr Ontaruo peninsula) that is south of the US. I live near Detroit, and when in downtown, and we can look on Windsor across the river while facing south.
Some say this is what Journey meant when they sang born and raised in South Detroit - they meant Windsor.

France is the country with the most times zones. The reason for this is that, unlike the UK for example, its overseas holdings are considered part of France. So there are 12 time zones for France (or 13 if you count parts of Antarctica.

Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.

I love Mr. Weird History's enthusiasm discussing the antipodes--he was even more delightfully zinger-y and/or wow-zer-y than usual during that segment of today's video. :)
