Back in 1868, a government worker in charge of finding the exact spot of the "four corners" in the American west -- the spot where Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico meet -- screwed it up. Researchers (in England, of all places) have discovered that the spot where the government built a huge monument is wrong. The actual spot is two miles away.
Worse, the guy knew he was doing it wrong and just didn't want to walk the two miles through the desert to get it right.
Through the years, millions of people have visited the Four Corners Monument, thinking they were putting their hands and feet in four separate states. Imagine all the suckers who drove long distances through the middle of nothing to visit this monument -- all for nothing.
