Texas a Geographic Unit of Measurement

Filed by Max the Cryptid Reporter

The Texas Almanac tells us that the Lone Star State measures 801 miles from north to south and 773 miles from east to west. As this map from Terrible Maps illustrates, it can thus be used as a geographic measurement of distance. New York is 1.5 Texases from Texas. Tokyo is 7.5 Texases from Texas.Some point in the southern Indian Ocean is the furthest you can go from Texas on the entire planet. That location is 14.9 Texases away from Texas.It must be hell.-via Matt Bramanti
