GLOBULAR
I like this kind of stuff, fight me.

Y’ALL LIKE FLAGS????
I DO!!!!
I love this kind of stuff.

This is my new favorite xkcd.
This is like peak humor to me. I love it.
That is all.

Here’s the link to a huge version of this map so you can read all the text.
WOOOOOO no pants!
This is pretty snazzy. Couple of highlights:
– Most potatoes produced: Idaho (go figure)
– Most reported Bigfoot sightings: Washington
– Idaho and Montana shrink to almost nothing when you select to view the states sized by the number of African American individuals living in the state.
This guy is my new hero
Most badass cover of Maps ever.
Blog 426: Map-o-Rama!
Two interesting maps for you to ponder. Soda and religion, what a combination!
That is all.

(Red is Coke, yellow is soda, and blue is pop, by the way)
