| Longitude
and latitude...
經緯度
The
teacher of the Earth Science
class was lecturing on map
reading.
He
spent the class explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees,
and minutes. Towards the end
of class, the teacher asked his students, "Suppose I asked
you to meet me for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude
and 45 degrees, 15 minutes east longitude..."

A
student's voice broke the confused silence, and volunteered,
"I guess you'd be eating alone, sir."
