Fascinating world map alternative to the Mecator projection: [link]

Very cool. The first thing I thought of was Fuller's old Dymaxion map. And it turned out the Dymaxion map was one of the inspirations - only this projection is more practical, without the disadvantages of Fuller's idea.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Do you seriously expect me to believe that the USA lacks the military might to repel the advance of a small troop of hyperintelligent apes?

Because books.

This is not a news item, I hope.

The apes are probably hoping, though.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Scola,

I haven't turned on CNN all day, so I am thrilled that this was not a news item. I keep putting that movie out of my mind, so I really should have made the connection.

I want to know how the millions of us in this country with opposable thumbs could really feel threatened by a league of apes.
