[Taxacom] Impossible geocodes

* when I've seen these they mean:

  67º 16.86' N; 16º 37.77' W

...if this is the case, 34% of the mis-punctuated batches should be  
impossible.

"[The] two fundamental steps of scientific thought - the conjecture  
and refutation of Popper - have little place in the usual conception  
of intelligence. If something is to be dismissed as inadequate, it is  
surely not Darwin [, whose] works manifest the activity of a mind  
seeking for wisdom, a value which conventional philosophy has largely  
abandoned." Ghiselen, 1969. Triumph of the Darwinian Method, p 237.
