  1. "The middle of nowhere is nowhere to be found"

  2. The middle of nowhere is away from the outside of nowhere.

  3. The middle of nowhere is the exact place you ARE, at the exact moment you do NOT want to be there, and at the exact moment when NEED to be somewhere else.

    For this reason, it's an ever-changing place for every person.

    Besides, every place is a somewhere, even if there's nothing there.

    There are many places where there is nothing there.  For example, the Poles of Inacessibility are such places.  There are points in each ocean that are furthest from any land.  There are points on each continent that are furthest from any ocean.  Etc.

    Wikipedia has an article and a map showing all these "furthest from" places:

    Perhaps this is what you're looking for.

    Finally, there's the spot where the Prime Meridian intersects the Equator, which is in the Atlantic Ocean south of Nigeria in Africa.  This is often considered "nowhere" since its coordinates are 0°, 0°.  However, this is really just a humorous term since this point is rather arbitrary, and is nothing more than the base reference point for latitude and longitude.

  4. Just (after) now, it is right here!

  5. "The middle of nowhere" is just a figure of speech, used to describe a remote, desolate location. Actually pinning down the most remote or inaccessible points on Earth depends on what you count as remote or inaccessible. There's a point in China, in the Dzoosotoyn Elisen Desert, which is the furthest point on Earth from the sea (1,645 miles), or there's a point in the Pacific Ocean at 48°52.6′S, 123°23.6′W that's furthest from land (1,670 miles). There are the southern and northern poles of inaccessibility, the locations furthest from the edge of the northern pack ice and the edge of Antarctica respectively. The southern pole of inaccessibility is notoriously the most difficult place to reach over land - much harder than the geographic south pole, and only a few teams have ever made it there successfully. And of course there's the summit of Everest, the highest point above sea level, and the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the deepest point below sea level. Any of these remote locations could comfortably be described as the "middle of nowhere".

  6. there are so many 'middle of nowheres' around the world...used to describe the most isolated and uninhabited regions of the earth.

    i would probably say places like northern china, eastern russia, the sahara desert, the amazon, northern canada, and greenland are among the most isolated places on earth.

  7. thats where courage the cowardly dog lives

  8. Nebraska

  9. It's the central area of the Back of Beyond.

  10. Mineral Wells, Texas.....hahahahaha....S**t, that's where I live....sorry.
