Journal Fortunato_NC's Journal: This Is Why The Internet Is Wonderful
A few years ago, I wouldn't have been able to scratch this particular itch without heading to the library and scouring lots of books. And even then, I may not have gotten a definite answer. Today, on the other hand, I simply went to Google and typed "guantanamo gate" in the search box.
The result? (Of course, you might have already clicked the link above to see for yourself.) What I found was fairly interesting. The fence between GTMO and Cuba is 17.4 miles long, and it has only a single crossing point, known as the North East Gate. It is actually used every day by elderly Cuban employees who have worked on the base since before the Cuban revolution! It is also used by base officials and Cuban officials who meet regularly to discuss certain issues regarding the base and its Cuban neighbors.
In addition to self-important blogs, web sites pushing the latest in mass consumption, and an ever more varying array of pornography, the Internet provides us with the answers to just about any trivia question we can think of. We just have to know how to phrase the question to Google!
