Quotation from: The Cruise of the Snark

Written by: Jack London


"All right," I break in upon the squabble; "we'll work up the sight
and then we'll see."


And work it up I did, only to find that my longitude was 184 degrees
west.


"I told you so," snorts my logical mind.


I am dumbfounded. So is my literal mind, for several minutes. Then
it enounces:


"But there is no 184 degrees west longitude, nor east longitude, nor
any other longitude. The largest meridian is 180 degrees as you
ought to know very well."
