I wanted to clarify the Colorado peaks over 14,000' segment. In the video I stated that Colorado has 25 peaks over 14,000ft, and many have commented about the state having 58. It comes down the definition of "peak". The Colorado Geological Survey states 58 over 14,000 but many of those are just a slightly higher portion of a mountain a short distance away and only rises a little more than the adjacent peak. Most geologists outside of Colorado would not count many of those as separate peaks. It's similar to Minnesota and Wisconsin lakes. Wisconsin states they have more lakes than Minnesota because the threshold for what constitutes a lake is lower in Wisconsin. With equal standards, Minnesota has way more lakes. But it doesn't change the overall point that Alaska has the highest peaks (over 15,000ft) while Colorado has the highest number of peaks over 10,000ft.

[@stakknation123]

I'm a Coloradan and we have 53 peaks over 14,000 not 58 and definitely not 25, which in laughable. When you start a video with misinformation about my state I'm not watching the rest of the video. Peace!

[@SoulSurvivor14]

@@stakknation123 you literally just proved his point that people of Colorado say they have more peaks than the rest of the world considers a peak

[@brentripley]

That’s fair but those that spend years summiting each one might disagree with the assertion that they are not actual peaks.

[@mountainguessr9919]

People normally say there are 53 or 54 Fourteeners in Colorado, depending on whether or not you count Mt. Cameron (Near Mt. Lincoln.) The number of peaks from 13000-13999 ft is large. I believe there are over 500 peaks from 13500-13999 ft.

"Faith healing hospital that didn't work out" I couldn't stop laughing at that one.

the Prayer Tower is gone, a Huge Space Age Space Needle looking thing that Oral Roberts said if his followers didn't send him the $3M he needed to finish it, God was going to call him home, Oral Roberts Turned GOD into an Extortionist

[@abbotlawrencestasyszeno.s.3266]

It was largely the overhead of the near empty City of Faith Hospital that likely almost led ORU to bankruptcy and ended with Rev. Oral Roberts secluding himself in the campus “Crown of Thorns” Prayer Tower telling his many followers the Lord would call him home if a certain amount of money were not raised. I believe I have that timeline correct and I apologize if I am confusing two separate episodes in the history of ORU.

[@charmoka]

It never does! Hahaha...

[@megadjc192]

Yeah, my dad actually went to school there and worked in that building for many years. It's weird just how much the architecture stands out beyond everything else (including all the art deco architecture in Tulsa). I've been in that building many times, as the black lines on each corner are actually observation rooms with glass. Also, the 60th (top) floor has a crazy exhibition/dining space that has floor to ceiling windows that are almost 20 feet tall. It was weird, basically walking up to each of the windows and peering down... Brrrr scary. Also, something many people don't know about it is that it has metal bars that go from the base of each tower all the way to the top. They obstruct many of the windows. Also, the base of the large tower is a huge room with a cube turned on one corner like shape that housed a fountain. Unfortunately the lobby once had beautiful wood and brass, and it has since been turned to an ugly pastel white and the lighting was also screwed up... I had fond memories of Christmas parties and stuff... Pretty much all the tallest and second-tallest buildings were fully occupied. The last I checked though, the shortest building still wasn't fully complete (this information may be almost 20 years old though, so a lot could change). Yeah, Oral Roberts was a bit of an evangelical Christian crackpot who was part of the infamous "Word of Faith" movement.... I'd actually met many of them many times back then. All of it was funded by generous "donations" by oil tycoons who once called Tulsa home. What broke the whole thing was when the oil left and moved down to Houston. This is why the campus has largely fallen into disrepair, and it also was the reason Oral Roberts made his stand and asked for so much money to "save" his college and campus buildings.

I grew up in Kansas and I learned as a kid that the highest elevation in the state is Mount Sunflower. I was 35 before I learned that it’s not a mountain at all or even a hill, just a high spot as the elevation gradually goes up toward Colorado. Lame.

[@Compucles]

The highest point in Missouri is called "Tom Sauk Mount," but it's really just a large forested hill rather than an actual mountain.

[@tac185]

and it has a higher elevation than the highest points in SC, MA, MD, and PA, which are actual mountains

[@kg4qxk]

Similarly, the highest point in Connecticut is on the side of a hill on the border with Massachusetts; if you take one step into MA, you are higher than the entire state of CT.

[@jimspears5423]

A few notes for future oddities videos: El Paso, TX is closer to Los Angeles, CA than it is to Texarkana, TX. Texarkana is closer to Chicago than it is to El Paso. Rhode Island is 1214 sq miles per wiki. Texas has 40 counties larger than that, ranging from Starr county at 1223 sq miles to Brewster county at 6193 sq miles. Indiana would fit in the Texas panhandle. South Carolina would fit in the area south of San Antonio. Granted, it's not a straight shot, but the first exit on I-10 coming into TX from Louisiana is 880 - 880 miles from the New Mexico border north of El Paso.

If you're gonna count Kuwait as a city-state, you might as well count neighboring Qatar too. Just a little over 99 percent of Qatar lives in Doha and its suburbs while the rest of the peninsula is just desert. Bahrain is even smaller, and the vast majority of its residents live in the northern part of the country where Manama is (while the rest, like Qatar and Kuwait, is just desert). There is a residential and tourism resort called Durrat Al Bahrain at the island's southern tip but it's so remote that I doubt anyone would move there instead of near Manama. But my favorite city-state has to be Singapore. I mean it's funny how Malaysia thought they were doing a good thing and saving themselves by kicking them out but Singapore ended up owning them big time and became a success story while Malaysia continues to lag behind.

Construction of the Ryugyong Hotel began under my grandpa in 1987 when the economy was doing a lot better thanks to Soviet assistance. But when we faced an economic crisis in 1992 because of the end of this assistance and sanctions from other countries, we halted construction. It resumed in 2008, and thanks to help from an Egyptian company we were able to finish all the windows. We hoped to open it in 2012 to commemorate the centenary of my grandpa's birth but obviously, that didn't see the light of day. We still very much care for it as we added a LED display for promoting the nation and the Party in 2018, and we do hope that once more nations see the reality of how great we are and how much we've struggled, that these sanctions against us will end so that we can finish. VICE gave us a bad rep

One more cool oddity that you could’ve included in the colorado section was that the highest average elevation of any county is San Juan County in Colorado at 11240 feet. However, it doesn’t contain any of Colorado’s 53 14000ft peaks.

What I appreciate most about this outstanding channel is that your content has logical integrity. I have seen other channels which offer fairly meaningless "statistics." They are like obscure baseball statistics: "fastest pitch on a Thursday under sodium lights when the humidity is over 24% and the temperature is below 71 to drive in a winning run (if the game had not been called on account of hailstorm).

These oddity videos are fantastic! I’m really glad you mentioned ORU. My sister attended this college and the first thing I noticed on this campus was how unique all the buildings are. One funny note is one of the dorms. It has this weird honeycomb type architecture on the outside of it. The squirrels on campus would climb the honeycombs and go into students rooms if the students left their windows open. The squirrels would often take things out of their rooms. It was one of the running jokes on campus.

[@jessturner6886]

Bob Jones University in SC has a few buildings with honeycomb exteriors like you described. Must be a conservative Christian thing…

The OKC picture reminds me of Pittsburgh in the 1970s. The U.S. Steel Building is 259 feet taller than the Gulf Building. In the 1980s, four buildings went up with heights between those two so U.S. Steel doesn't stand out so much. In retrospect, it's weird that four skyscrapers opened during a decade in which the city's economy was falling apart.

[@jstarASMR3103]

These facts never cease to boggle my mind! So interesting

[@fishingthelist4017]

Columbus Georgia has an out of place skyscraper. The AFLAC Building is several miles from downtown, and since it sits at a higher elevation, it appears even taller than it is, and the all-seeing duck signs at the top watch you even across the river in Alabama.

I don't think its been mentioned across your four videos on the subject, but Mississippi has the longest man-made beach in the world.

Fantastic episode!! It was wonderful to hear about the Bay of Fundy, as I see it's head - the Minas Basin - from my window outside Wolfville every day.

There are 7.489 gallons of water in a cubic foot. One cubic foot of water weighs 62.4 pounds. A 48 foot semi-truck trailer is a 3,600 cubic foot container. At Lake Itasca, it would take 10 minutes for one semi-trailer of water to flow out of the lake into the Mississippi. At St. Anthony Falls, the equivalent of 3 semi-trailers full of water go over the falls every second. At New Orleans, the equivalent of 166 semi-trailers of water flow past Algiers Point each second.

Great channel, Geography King. Please consider the following facts about 6 places I have called home: 1. Sri Lanka is the only modern country to have appeared in Ptolemy's first world map with the exact geographical boundaries 2. Singapore is the only country in the world to adopt a minority language (Malay) as the sole national language 3. Like Kuwait, Qatar could have been considered a city-state until recent decades. Migrant workers used to call it Doha-Qatar as Doha used to be the only significant population center 4. Athens, GA, is the home to "The Tree that Owns Itself." 5. Colorado has 697 sides, although it appears like a trapezoid on maps 6. Lake Jackson, TX, has odd street names: This Way, That Way, Any Way, and His Way

[@patrickr.5900]

There is also an extreme tidal change in Mexico at the north end of the Gulf of California. The Mexican towns of San Felipe on the western shore and Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) on the eastern shore experience tide changes of up to 16 ft. Have been to both. You can walk out over a mile at low tide to get to the water's edge at San Felipe.

Hi Kyle! Really enjoy your videos. Here is a theme suggestion for a coming video - Longest streets in the US and in the world. In the late 70ties I lived in the San Fernando Valley (Van Nuys) and I was told that "my street" - Sepulveda Blvd - possibly was the longest in the US.

The Billings, MT "skyline" is somewhat tempered by the rims to the north and east, but the tallest building therein (kind of ugly brown building, a mere 20 stories) is the tallest building in the whole state of MT. Also, while living in MT, I heard that the whole state of Wyoming has ONE escalator. It's hearsay, but it could be true. Possibly something for the next oddities vid. Keep it up!

[@bundevsawhney7578]

What I can indeed confirm is that the tallest building in Wyoming is...a dorm. It rises above the bustling metropolis of Laramie out of nowhere with a huge 12 floors

[@glenmatthes8839]

Actually, there are two escalators in Wyoming, or maybe four depending on how you count them.

Philadelphia had a huge skyscraper that had to be dismantled, after a remodeling crew left some solvent out which spontaneously combusted. There was so much damage to the building it was deemed unsafe and was finally removed, piece by piece.

[@bradfilippone7064]

Is there a fifth video in this series? I only ask because one feature of U.S. geography I have always found very odd hasn't been mentioned yet--although in THIS video, you came very close to it. You can see it on the map at 7.51. The western border of South Dakota isn't perfectly straight. Where it meets the borders of Montana and Wyoming, it suddenly becomes an east-to-west border for a short distance. The story I've always heard is that one surveyor was traveling northward from the south and another was traveling southward from the north, and one of them wasn't following the correct line of longitude. It was decided that correcting the error would be too much work, and so the border briefly follows a latitude line.

[@funkygawy]

Amherst Mass has the 28-story UMass library that towers over a pretty small town (pop 40,000 or so, smaller when it was built in the 70s). Not quite Oral Roberts but Tulsa is much more of a city. Fun fact: bits of bricks would fall of the facing of the tower, forcing them to close the library for a while, then limit entrance, until they figured out how to re-secure the facing.

One of the oddities of the highway happens when you take Highway 64/412 from Clayton NM to Boise City, OK. At one point the extreme NW corner of Texas comes up right to the shoulder of the road so if you're going east, in the right lane, for about a stretch of, literally, 6 feet or so, you are in the State of Texas before returning into NM only to enter OK about one minute later. Check it out.
