[edit] Didn't you know?

Articles on Wikipedia should have references. I thought something this basic would be a requirement for DYK inclusion. Those external links don't provide any info on what a gore is. House of Scandal 11:51, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unclaimed in Texas

Similar surveying errors occurred in Texas, where three separate survey systems were used. There, it's regarded as unclaimed land, up for grabs. There was quite a tidy sum made a few decades back when an individual located (and claimed) an inch-wide strip of land running through part of downtown Dallas, which was then sold to the businesses located on "his" property. --EncycloPetey 01:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
