Midpoint Corporate Office

I have an evil muse. She has inspired alot of the craziness that spews forth out of my head. Ever since I met her, we have clicked. Our personalities resonate with outlandish ideas of conspiracies, deviousness, and general hilarity. She has even started up her own blog which you can check out here. Problem is, she has moved to the left coast, which really sucks for both of us because we have been collaborating on a super secret project that we think we can actually turn into money once it's developed. For now, we'll just call that "Project Indigo".

So, now because we're separated by over 3,000 miles, we need to decide on where our corporate offices should be. This brought about the topic of where, exactly, is the midpoint between Saint Cloud, FL and Beaverton, OR. (BTW, when you spell check Beaverton, one of the suggestion is "Norberto". Like yeah, that's what I meant). Here was my first attempt:


Notice how I put my geometry skills to use. I printed the map, used the cities as endpoints, and bisected the segment with a protractor (it's a semicircle yo). That spot was right inside the Kansas line and looking at a map it was either a town called Coolidge or Johnson City. Well I wanted to be more accurate than that. Hello Google maps and Geomidpoint.com!


So apparently the exact middle is in some unnamed road (excellent!) in Brownell, Kansas. And being curious, I clicked on the nearby points of interest.


It's in the middle of a cornfield/wheatfield/whatever they grow in a Kansas field, yall! I think this is where our super secret research and development underground complex disguised as an abandoned farmhouse should be. I probably shouldn't have told everyone that...


But still, we would need an actual business office, where we could receive coupons and fliers in the mail, and have our internet hooked up for blogging purposes. And we'll we have to be able to put something on our company letterhead, right? So on this website you can actually look at the midpoint of the route each end would have to take to get to the other. This gives us a center of Doniphan, Nebraska.


One last check of nearby places reveals several buffets, which is always a main criteria when picking a corporate office location. So there, it's settled. If you're ever looking for us we'll be at the Chances "R" singing Johnny Mathis.

P.S. And do not forget to recommend this blog continues.
