The house in which I was born, built in the 1700's, had the M-D line in its back yard. (It was a big back yard.) We lived pretty much at the PA/MD/DE boundary.

I've commuted by ferry, briefly.

I'm a little surprised that so far crossing it is something everyone's done! Despite growing up in southwestern Pennsylvania and otherwise having lots of time in that rough area, I think I've only crossed it something like a dozen times. It's such a small little line, not at all like the Prime Meridian or Equator or such.

But such strong, and continuing, cultural importance to the US.

I have not done it :) But then, I was never in the US.

I have been right up next to the Prime Meridian (via Heathrow), but did not in fact cross it as far as I know.

SO CLOSE

Huh! Where were you transiting to/from such that you didn't go east at all from there? I suppose you may've crossed it incidentally anyway, depending on what the various descent and ascent patterns around LHR are like, but I don't know a damn thing about them!

Glasgow, from Seattle. So west (as well as north) from London. Bounce!

I couldnt remember where the Prime Meridian was so I said no. If it is bw the Midwest and Western Europe then yes, and I have been as far north in Europe as Wales. Otherwise, no.

I pay my taxes, so I know someone who's given material support to terrorists: specifically, me. (Which is true even if I *don't* define the US as a terrorist state itself.)

I wrote a novella, posted it on talk.bizarre back in the day, and some rag called Holy Temple of Mass Consumption News serialized it. I contacted them and they paid me in copies. So that technically counts.
