From Wikipedia:
"The Line of Demarcation was an imaginary longitude...to divide new lands claimed by
From Me:
"The Line of Demarcation is an imaginary line to divide the space one is allowed to take up on the seat. Territorial disputes between the two commuters led the NJ Transit Conductors to adjudicate in the hope that this would lead to peace on the train."
This "imaginary line" is not so imaginary. There is a bump on the seat in front of you to show where you should begin and where you should end. Two seaters are easier to obey the law of the land. Today I was on the window side of a three seater (See #4 in previous post) and could not propel my body and closer to the window without actually hanging out of it. The guy next to me apparently thought that his giant laptop needed more room to breathe and that elbowing me while typing was perfectly acceptable.
At least the train was on time...NOT.

The Pope's Line of Demarcation was to seprate the world with Spain having all of the new world, and Portugal having Africa and Asia. The Pope was wrong as the line had stuff sticking out to the east of it called Brazil. Actually the land to the East was what would become Brazil. If it wasn't for this Papal oversight, we wouldn't have a good World Cup Soccer team as Antonio Banderas and his crew would have just fouled it all up.
MAYBE if you can get a papl decree that picks the seam of the bottom of that lump of demarcation, you could annex someone's wallet as your Brazil and rape and pillage the credit cards within it!
