   I once wrote on a foodie group that we had some great Iranian food in   
   Vienna ... Virginia. (The Rose Kebab Restaurant, if you're wondering.)   
      
   France's longest border is with Brazil.   
      
   The world's shortest border is between Spain and Morocco, on Peñón de   
   Vélez de la Gomera.   
      
   (We won't even talk about the borders in Baarle-Nassau.)
