Someone should clue them in on frames being a bad idea. Their south-pole-on-top map is pretty nice too, but unlinkable due to their ridiculous site.
You mean the South Up Maps?
Yeah. Look at the links of the pages that have the usefully-sized images.
One of my favorite West Wing episodes is "Big Block of Cheese Day" when CJ gets a lecture from "Cartographers for Social Responsibility".
"You can't do that!" "Why not?" "Because it's freaking me out!"
Like Canada. It essentially disappears on this map, as does Australia and Russia. On the other hand, Africa and South America aren't changed too much. And look at India, it's hugely bloated.
Hooray for India! :D
OMFG, I feared I was the only grizzled underground relic in the nation to actually enjoy Roxie Saint legitimately, w/o some sort of "she's ripping off Carla Bozulich and Peaches via Slits" criticism.
I really like "Firecracker". "Rebel" and "Humans" are decent; the rest of that album is just so-so, and the videos are mostly intolerable.
