Oh, Lord, What Will We Tell the Kids?

A couple of days after we got married, my wife and I took a side trip on our trek to begin my career in Hollywood to visit Four Corners. Standing in four states at once, we made out. It was a kind of assertion of our marriage, like opening a joint checking account or breaking-in the new house. We repeated the story for the millionth time a few days ago, telling friends about our non-honeymoon honeymoon.

It appears that we're going to have to go back. The Four Corners monument where thousands of people have photographed themselves standing in four states at once seems to be in the wrong place.

National Geodetic Survey officials say the Four Corners marker showing the intersection of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah is about 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) west of where it should be, the Deseret News reported.

Are we still legally married, or does this give her a loophole?

2.5 miles?

I understand that any sort of human endeavor to measure will be off compared to satellite precision, but damn.

From a geometric standpoint its safe to assume that if you weren't making out directly at dead center on Four Corners you at least were probably in different states.
