Proof of what, exactly? Think kindly upon the dude whose house spins on 
either pole - at 90°N or S - and whose intelligence must be as low as 
it gets.

However, having spent, recently, much of a day going more or less 
nowhere in a somewhat more southern and thereby intelligent urban 
traffic jam, I'm inclined to re-think the polar person's intelligence!

At N42°47', I may be a tad south of you. Should I be offended or 
complimented? Life's burning questions...
