Today’s top story: We have a winner for last week’s Fact Contest and another round coming up tomorrow.
Owen won himself a copy of Bono’s On the Move for sending us this amazing fact about boundaries: “The Haskell Free Library and Opera House straddles the Canadian and Vermont border. The actors perform in Canada while most of the audience sits in the United States. There is even a painted line running through the building.”
Owen, we’ll be in touch about getting you your book. There’s also a bunch of other amazing runners-up that will have their facts entered into the Generator ASAP.
Tomorrow, I’ll be announcing a new prize and a new topic for this week’s contest. Keep your eyes on the blog and dust off your thinking caps! For now, see what else The Amazing Fact Generator has to offer.

Is there any way to get the AFG to pump out facts based on a particular topic? For example, if I wanted to see an amazing fact on Borders?

Incredibly off topic, but was the AFG aware that “The Wire,” quite possibly the greatest TV show ever, just had its final episode? Can we expect some postmortem?
