    1) Maine has no border with Nova Scotia that I can see.

    2) Whether we count DC or not, it would not meet the condition: going north from DC, the next state you hit is Maryland, but going south it's Virginia.

Cruel to be kind means that I love you . Because, while I think you are mistaken, your hearts are in the right place -- yes, even you, Silas --  unlike some people .

But much worse is that people have seriously been considering heliocentrism for many centuries before Copernicus. Aristarchus had proposed a heliocentric model in the 4th-century BC.
