'Earth sandwich' made by two men 20,000km apart

Two men in New Zealand and Spain have created an “Earth Sandwich” by placing slices of bread on precise points, either side of the planet, it was reported on Monday. The man behind the sandwich, Etienne Naude from Auckland, told the BBC that he wanted to make one for “years”, but had struggled to find someone in Spain, on the other side of the globe. He finally found someone after posting on the online message board, Reddit. The men used longitude and latitude to make sure they were precisely opposite. The first “Earth sandwich” is credited to the American artist Ze Frank, who organized two slices of baguette to be placed in New Zealand and Spain in 2006. (IANS)
