Incredible geography fact

I use the term "incredible" advisedly, as I found the answer to this question hard to believe.

Which state in the United States is closest to Africa?

(try to guess, then see answer in the "comments" to this entry)

    Maine.

    Yes, I didn't believe it either; had to pull up a Google map to see that it is closer to Morocco than any of the Southern states are to the rest of the continent.
