... that Fourmile Creek (pictured) is actually eight miles long?

Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Queen (soundtrack)
Comment: One would expect a stream called Fourmile Creek to be about four miles long.

- Looks all good to me. Sources, hook, length all check out. – Connormah (talk) 05:58, 4 February 2014 (UTC)
It's actually notable (I think) for being polluted. As to it's being "actually eight miles long", I didn't know that, but it's not something I would find interesting. Bit of a yawn, I feel. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 08:44, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

I still think the original hook is interesting/surprising, but ALT 1: ... that the largest mass of rhyolite in Pennsylvania is near Fourmile Creek? --Jakob (talk) 12:49, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Duh, I've just clicked. Four Mile Creek is actually Eight Miles Long. That changes a lot. -- Ohc ^¡digame! 17:49, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
