  Fun fact, this cafe 41°54.11′N 87°40.02′W appears to be at precisely the same latitude as The Vatican 41°54.11′N 12°27.18′E

  How did you figure this out? Is there some kind of tool that looks for geographical coincidence? Myoglobin (talk) 15:13, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

• SBassett (WMF) (talk) 15:03, 15 October 2024 (UTC) I can stop by for a bit, I think. Happy to answer any WMF questions that I can.
