This gets curiouser and curiouser. While watching the servers that I was
connecting two, I was under the impression that the one with the name "lga3"
was at LaGuadia, New York.
It's not.
It's in Ireland.
So instead of connecting to Facebook by way of a server 400 miles away in
Los Angeles, I'm instead connecting to a server 8,000 miles away in Ireland.
I sure hope none of these people get involved in the future manned
missions to Mars. A lot of people will die.
