Map It!

You can map anything, you know. You can map your trip to avoid detours. You can map the shortest journey to your new home to reduce moving services expenses. You can map the distance between your home and office. Heck you can even map different terms for carbonated beverages.

HUH? Is that right? Well, yes, it is. Strange Maps is just that: a blog full of maps that depict all sorts of odd things. The pop vs. soda map is one of my favorites but there so many others there that everyone will find something to amuse and entertain.

For instance, did you know that there was once a state in the US that never quite made it to official status? Check out the map of Absaroka. Or how about a view of cannibalism throughout history? Didn’t know that map existed, did you?

Go ahead and look around the site. See something really odd? Let me know about it. With two years worth of entries, there’s just too much there for one person to discover alone. Post your favorites in my comments!

Cool post – there are some pretty cool maps on that blog. One that was really interesting is the one where it shows the population of various provinces in China. It compares the populations to the population of whole countries.
