Mexico is one of the 17 megadiverse countries of the world. With over 200,000 different species, Mexico is home of 10â€“12% of the world's biodiversity.

The Tropic of Cancer effectively divides mexico into temperate and tropical zones. Land north of the twenty-fourth parallel experiences cooler temperatures during the winter months. South of the twenty-fourth parallel, temperatures are fairly constant year round and vary solely as a function of elevation.

an interesting fact that not a lot of people know about Mexico is that the roots of the "parol", or christmas lanterns as they are known in the Philippines, can be found in the Mexican piÃ±ata. The piÃ±ata came to Spain from Italy in the 1300's, spread to Mexico and finally came to the Philippines when the Spaniards brought Christianity to the islands.

Well this should wow your Spanish teacher

100 years ago. WAY before Will Smith starred in Wild Wild West, Mexico was actually ran by pirates. These were the pirates who were nor ARRRRRRgrssive to make the cut and sail the seven seas with Blackbeard, Captain Hook, Captain Crunch (His real name), and of course Captain Ron.

They built models of large ships which actually were just gas stations. They thought they were in Texas, so they didn't want to get sued by Emmit Smith. They named the new land "Texico". Once all Texico's became Shell stations, all the Lameoid pirate's faces melted like Indiana Jones style. Except one, who was named "Darven".

He was chewing some Big League Chew as he yelled "Warcom doo Mexico!!!!" to a group of forein tourist!!

And Mexico was Bourne (taco Supremacy)
