Is there an actual line at the equator?
Posted by: Diane on November 7, 2007 at 8:46PM CST

Rob will be happy to know that my week and a half off from work with my bad knee was not totally wasted--I learned about the yellow line at the equator in Ecuador! (And you thought it was imaginary!)

I shouldn't have been surprised, after all, I've been to the Four Corners Monument where you can stand in one spot and be in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.

But it never occurred to me that there would be an 
Equator Line Monument, with a bright yellow line drawn at the base of the monument and extending out through the plaza where a person could have their foot in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere at the same time.

That's what I get for sitting in my recliner watching the Today Show. I watched Al Roker hopping back and forth from one hemisphere to the other in Ecuador.


Click here  for a list of countries (and a map) that the equator passes through.

So, did you think that the equator was only an imaginary line, or did you know about the monument?

Hi Diane,

Sitting in your recliner is good, but you need to get rid of, or I should say turn off Al and turn on Cash Cab. Actually there is a large rope around the equator. When boats cross it they have to have someone at the front of the ship to lift it up above the boat otherwise it pulls the rope really tight and will make the earth fart. When that happens it creates global warming at the North and South Pole which melts more ice.
