Ah, my first guess was wrong, its the Aleution Islands you mention that actually do it.The dateline bends out of convenience but the antimeridian can't do that trick.

Dont he tells fibs
But if it is the most eastern - how can it be the most western? The inclusion of the Aleutian Islands enables the one but disables the other.
They cross the 180° meridian into the Eastern hemisphere. So effectively those islands are far further east than any other part of the states.

Look at the map. Some Aleutian islands are in very far western longitudes and some are in very far eastern longitudes.

Hmm, I suppose so.
And you can hear it growing.
There is a small town in Alaska, which as it was growing from a handful of houses into a community - required to have a name.
The locals wanted to call it after the Ptarmigan (now the State bird of Alaska) but they were unsure of how to spell it, so to avoid embarassment - they decided to call the town.............................. CHICKEN.
Probably more than that in bullets...

The Vadoma tribe in northern Zimbabwe are best known for their Ectrodactyly. (They have three toes.)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vadoma
This is due to the limited gene pool in the tribe as a result of their remote location and rules that prevent marriage outside of the tribe.
It is thought the genetic mutation helps them climb trees as part of their hunter gatherer way of living.
Thats meant to be a secret, and youve blown wide open Mr C. Thats it. Loch Ness monster will come looking for you next time you visit Brigadoon which rises out the Scotch Mist😜😜

Points ☹️.....I was hoping for something from the meat raffle 😁
Oddly enough, until fairly recently we used to have a meat raffle at the club on a Friday night. Your comment brought back memories of winning a prize and then getting home, after more than a few pints, and attempting to 'cook' it. Irrespective of whether this was indeed practical!

I think you are confusing that with Mersea Island in Essex.
Some of the bones (relics) of Saint Valentine are held in a friary in the Gorbals in Glasgow. Not the most romantic place in the world!

There was a sad story that Eric Clapton managed to find an incredibly rare left hand Strat and had bought it for Hendrix as a gift. By the time Clapton got back to London Jimi had just died. The upside down guitar could have been a thing of the past.
On average, Mercury is the closest planet to Earth.

War memorials in Russia carry the dates 1941-1945, because they want to forget that for the first two years they were basically allied with Nazi Germany, supplying them with oil and materials, invading Poland, attacking Finland and annexing Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
And your hair, more so in these areas than others. As many of the TZ demographic can no doubt confirm.
Your forehead, palms and soles are the only parts of human body without hair. These three areas are used to dump temperature in the human body when too hot.
No, they have webbed toes

With the size of the world's population - I'd say that statistically.......... that can't be correct.
That could be because they are the descendants of the ones who survived the swim from Mersea
