At first I didn't realize you were complaining about the picture layout and thought you were making a clever comment about how part of Italy really is at a more northerly latitude than Chicago.

Ah no, just referencing the number of times Ive heard people either jokingly or being serious say that Alaska is next to Hawaii. Stemming from pictures like this

Also something I have had someone in person use as a reference as to why they knew Texas was larger than Alaska while playing trivia at a bar
