Strange maps help make sense of the world...



There are some real gems over at Strange Maps.

My personal favs:

Sherlock Homes' home (or "crib" as it was called in the Victorian age)

Cannibal map of the world

The world as seen from Paris

Fattest States (Congrats Mississippi!)

How to drain the North Sea to add more beachfront property to Europe (Take that Denmark!)

Heaven as an amusement park - Don't forget to stop by the gaming midway where you can save souls; and redeem them for FABULOUS cash prizes!

And just when you were starting to feel good about yourself, here is a map of human oppression from your favorite and mine, Amnesty International.
