year round school, I shudder at the thought.

The Peters projection actually does provide a, proportionally, more accurate map. I was so disoriented by it too, but it is more accurate, kind of. The best is a computer generated globe really.

Globes are the best, but if you want a map that shows area accurately a land mass cartogram is really the only way to go.

Clanky: my sentiments exactly, I had to do year-round school for a few years, it was terrible.

I hate the Peters Projection with a passion. I prefer the Robinson one.

Globe master race.

 

[Royal Tenenbaum]

Well aren't you original, I thought we were talking about PROJECTIONS.

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Apparently I'm a Robinson. I do quite like the Peirce Quincuncial though.

A globe is also a projection, as the earth is a geoid not a globe

It's like saying that there are several types of islands, circular islands, triangular islands, thin islands, and greatbritannian islands, which has only one ocurrence found in Great Britain, as there is only one geoid: Planet Earth itself.

That got me pretty spot on with Robinson. Although Dymaxion looks pretty awesome.

I feel so successful because I can do the r roll finally.

 

[Royal Tenenbaum]

I can't whistle, so I can never be the cool guy who whistles to his dog.

I've never been able to make the finger snapping sound.

But I can whistle even under water.

 

[Bair_the_Normal]

I've never been able to roll my r's so I substitute them with a modified Japanese r.

 

[Civ'ed]

what's an r?

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Like, the letter? Also, US Men's Soccer team beat the Netherlands for the first! Hype!!

I watched the final of Champions League yesterday evening. A shame Juventus lost, but I knew since the start they didn't stand a chance.
