Center of the Universe

 So...try to remember that, sometimes at least, the burden of proof is on the other guys to prove you're wrong, instead of you to prove you're right. 

In this case, they say that you can't prove them wrong, so they can keep their claim to fame. Personally, I prefer to have evidence for something first, but I'll let it go for this one. 

Wallace, Idaho, at the crossing of Bank and 6th street, is the center of the universe. The picture above is the marker they put there, from the first Wallace link below. 

The declaration was made in 2004, by the then-mayor Ron Garitone, who said that he's allowed to say that until someone else can prove that he's wrong. It was made in part to get more attention to their tiny town, sporting less than 900 people, and he has succeeded in it. 

There's not a lot to the story, but I thought it was interesting enough. If you want to know more, there are links below with more information about it. If you decide to go, let me know if it lives up to the hype, such as it is.
