My husband  was telling me earlier  about an article he read in Scientific  American about  Mercator projections  causing inaccuracies  in many printed maps. China, USA, India, Japan and a good chunk of Europe  will fit inside Africa’s entire  “bootprint.”

And my mind  instantly  went  to imagining  a dirty Playboy style cartoon. Man and woman naked  in bedroom full of maps, and she’s  eyeballing his  erect “member” with disdain. He says, “Don’t  worry, baby – it’s  just  an inaccurate  Mercator  projection.”

Now if only I had an artist willing to make this a reality! Do I need to resurrect  Shel Silverstein?
