This is the so called shortest international bridge in the world. Located at Thousands Islands, Canada. The main/bigger island called Zavicon. The smaller island contains the backyard of the house on the larger island. The myth is that the bigger island is in Canada while the smaller one is in the US. It is disputed in wikipedia where it state both islands are actually in Canada. Proof after the jump.

If your google it, there are numbers of sources believe the story too, but the google maps below denies it. Clearly, both islands are in Canada. Canada 1 - US 0.

From link back in deputy dog, I found this funny story about the owner of the islands:

The guy who owns these two islands built the bridge, and he has a wife and several daughters. When the stress of living with so many women gets too much, he leaves the country and goes to his second island.
