All together, my friends are an accident

Because I'm bored and a nerd, and an Excel master, I decided to calculate the geographic average of everyone on my Friends list right now. (Well, minus the people who I never talk to anymore or whose location I don't know.)

The Hawaii and England/Israel people approximately canceled each other out, as did the British Columbia and Florida folks.

And I end up with an average practically on top of a town called Accident in Western Maryland. Which puts me barely closest to [livejournal.com profile] bloomable, who just beats out the Pittsburgh folks, with the DC-area folks probably edging out Baltimore, Richmond, and Hurricane WV for third place.

yeah Accident, maryland!!
I've driven through before, I think. apparently it was plotted wrong when they first plotted it on the map or something, so they called it Accident.
and uh.... how did you do this?
